Gravity of Inflation

[Johntee]

Perhaps, PP, you remember Harold Wilson's 1967 "Of course this doesn't mean the Pound in your pocket" speech when Sterling had to be devalued, and the subsequent wage freeze that limped on through the competing claims of who caused the Wage/Price spiral, through the demoralising Seventies when house and fuel prices doubled as money halved in value, or the 2008 response to the Banking Crisis where banks were saved at public expense. Money looks after money! The moral of the story? Never Trust the Government

Gravity of inflation

Half-baked , a cake yet a conundrum
How to share as the workers strike the drum
Past to be restored inequity became iniquity
On track to conflict and disparity
Kill the golden goose trying to have cake and eat it
Crumbs that’s all, some banked but now depleted.
Warmth in hubs, community castles fortify
Resilience boost, but poverty cannot deny
Inflation blows up, with gravity will come down
Still open for business, not yet forgotten town
