They already are...

Foods going up (again) Petrol is now average 103p a litre ($2 a LITRE council tax is going up 4% (and they are cutting service it pays for!) You have to earn £27000 ($53000) just to be able to afford a morgage for a 1 bedroomed flat! Tv liscence went up again this year, business rates have gone up and bus fares and train fares rose by 6% in janurary (so much for wanting more people to use public transport!) it would cost me £2.90 a day to travel the 3 miles from home to work ($5.74) on the bus. Yet wages have not risen to compensate for all these costs and we are taxed to the hilt. I pay 40% of my wages on tax, national insurance and student loan payment a month, this is before bills, rent, running car etc. Oh yeah electricity and gas prices are going up 20% in may making electricity and gas prices the highest in the world! Electricity will be approaching £0.15/KWH ($0.30) when you pay in the US on average $0.084.

Its getting to a time where it is difficult to afford anything here in the UK, very difficult.

and what annoys me most is that this Labour government still sees fit to try and justify a meagre 2% rate of inflation. For instance, teachers have been told that they are to receive something like a 2.45% pay rise this year and they are supposed to be happy with that because it is "above the rate of inflation".

What exactly do they include in their calculations for inflation?

If they're coming up with 2% then they must be leaving out food, alcohol, cigarettes, fuel, local amenities, tax, property and interst rates, which have all been well over 2% per annum for at least the last 5 years... that doesn't seem to leave very much to calculate
