The Government Engineered Cost Of Living Crisis

What I am about to say may make me sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I believe there is a logic to it.

When the government put those on furlough, did everyone who received it, think they would never pay it back?
Did those who received furlough think that we have a kind and benevolent government?
For those who thought they would never have to pay back furlough, more fool you.

Everything is going up in price for a reason.
The more something costs, the more vat you have to pay.
One example is fuel, which has a fuel duty cost added to it.

Are you following me so far?

Let’s say that the government then end up getting back the money they paid out.
What then?
Do prices continue to rise?
More than likely.
What if prices then drop to pre cost of living crisis levels?
The government would then use that as a powerful election tool to keep them in power.
It would look as if they had been the ones instrumental in lowering prices and looking after the common people.

I guess this is really a double cunting.

A cunting for the engineered cost of living crisis, and a cunting for the government.

  1. I dare say those in power will also be benefitting from the digusting profits being made by the private companies during this “crisis”. Good cunting

  2. Huh, nobody told me we’d have to pay back all the free Covid shit.
    Shake the money tree harder, you bastards.

  3. When cunts I know moan about the “cost of living” crisis,I tell them they could maybe sell their stockpiles of covid tests and face coverings to raise some cash. They give me the look that says they think I’M the cunt !.
    Most of them genuinely believe they’ve just come back from a two year government funded holiday,the exception usually being the ones running their own businesses,suprisingly.

  4. I live in Sussex (Brighton to be precise). Over the past 10 years the population in the county has gone up by just over 10%. That’s mainly due to immigration and “White Flight” from London! During those 10 years we have had no increase in the number of GPs while the number of hospital beds in the county has been reduced!! We’ve had no new facilities for capturing and distributing drinking water, no new sewage facilities, no new schools, less Police officers, more traffic congestion, no increase in electricity generation, a reduction in the amount of social housing available to the indigenous population, an increase in crime and house prices have more than doubled!!!
    Meanwhile despite no increased level of spending on infrastructure or public services we’ve seen Council Tax and other local taxes double, as well as increases in tax from central government, and an increase in costs for utilities, such as water, gas and electricity, of about 400%!!
    Our ability to influence anything either at a local or national level is zero! Just how much more of this shit are we expected to put up with??!!

    • You have to vote as far right as you possibly can.
      Unfortunately, with the absence of UKIP, that means Conservative, who we now know won’t address any issues that we find important.
      They’re about to appoint an Indian as the Prime Minister for fuck’s sake.
      I don’t remember voting for that.

      • I’ll vote for Reform UK. A vote for the current conservatives is really a vote for Labour in a dinner jacket.

        Ignore the scare over negative voting; it’s a trick pushed by Neofeudalists in different colour rosettes. Whether you vote Labour, Lib Dem or Tory, you’re getting Neofeudalism

    • Write to Caroline Lucas and tell her to shove her green bullshit up her arse, a bit of MP bashing always makes you feel better.

    • CMI, spot on!
      Cost of living increases, quality of living decreases.
      Our diminishing public “services” get smaller every day.
      What are the local/national authorities doing with our taxes?

  5. I didn’t get to self isolate because of the bat flu. Worked 5 days a week through it. Now I have to fucking pay through the nose again? Revolution now.

  6. This nom put me in mind of The Fall’s ‘Jerusalem’

    šŸŽ¶
    I was walking down the streets
    When I tripped up on a discarded banana skin
    And on my way down, I caught the side of my head
    On a protruding brick chip
    It was the government’s fault
    It was the fault of the government

    I was very let down from the budget
    I was expecting a one million quid handout
    I was very disappointed
    It was the government’s fault
    It was the fault of the government
    It was the fault of the government

    I became a semi-autistic type person
    And I didn’t have a pen, and I didn’t have a condom
    It was the fault of the government
    I think I’ll emigrate to Sweden or Poland
    And get looked after properly by a government
    Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem…. šŸŽ¶

  7. The Eurozone isnā€™t far behind us on inflation, but why are prices so high, gas and oil from Russia seems to have put the whole market into a steep incline.

    The USA is now an exporter of gas, what the fuck is happening, in Germany some public buildings have turned off heating (not sure why they would need it in summer) and hot water.

    The UK went fro coal to gas, cleaner and much easier to switch on and off when producing leccy and we donā€™t import from Russia but itā€™s ā€˜World Marketsā€™

    The government can do much more, remove the Green levy on electricity bills, remove the crippling fuel duty on petrol and diesel, what is the problem, 52p off a litre overnight.

    No one in the media dares to mention 2 things which would go down well with the people of the UK.
    Scrap the TV licence, we have more fucking channels than anyone would ever need, no fucker would miss the BBC.
    Reset overseas aid to fucking ZERO.

    Why the fuck are we spending so much on benefits when there are allegedly over a million vacancies in the UK.

    We are being played. (And taken for fucking mugs)

    Get ready for energy rationing in the winter, I would actually like to see that if weā€™re targeted at the millennials, give them a taste of the 70ā€™s , imagine the tears if the cunts couldnā€™t charge their Instagram generators

  8. Itā€™s totally engineered. Itā€™s the dawn of the great reset.

    You will own nothing and youā€™ll be happy.

    If youā€™ve not looked into it now might be a good time to start.

    In Holland they are battling farmers over new environmental rules but the farmers suspect the new regulations are designed to push them out of business. Their land to be bought up and eventually used to build housing for immigrants.

    In Canada the trucker convey participants had their bank accounts frozen, Trudeau wanted to extend this to anyone who donated money to the truckers.

    Energy companies are making record profits which suggests the price rises have more to do with profiteering than supply.

    Business and Public services are screaming for more immigrants to fill vacancies but the government wonā€™t invest in infrastructure to support more people which inevitably means service standards drop and drag our standard of living with them.

    All this is modelled and they know what the outcomes are.

      • @SV

        I know that yet it’s still a conspiracy theory to a lot of people.

        Rutte even tries to dismiss it as such in that video.
        Fast forward a few months and the farmers are protesting in huge numbers at being fucked over by Rutte.
        Surprise Surprise.

      • Thats right SV. Far from it being a secret conspiratorial ‘plan’. It is out in the open,loud and proud–

        https://www.weforum.org/great-reset/

        I think I agrre with its goals. Capitalism has needed Resetting for centuries.
        Since its inception.

        If that’s what it means the curbing of the excesses of Calitalism I am all for it.

        I know Shwab looks like a Dr Evil but really he’s a teddy bear.

      • Not just Mark Rutte, but Trudeau of Canada (fucking shit weazel) , the midget frog cunt Macron and that horse faced goofy labour shit cunt down in New Zealand Jacinda Arden.

        As soon as our new Parking-Stanley Prime Minister Sunak is confirmed the UK will then be under WEF control.

        That new Aussie PM is alleged to also be in the Davos gang……..

        As soon as sleepy Joe kicks the bucket (imminent, I’ve got him on Deadpool) the US will have their own WEF puppet in the form of Harris.

        Like Chess, the cunts at the WEF have got their pieces in place. Years in the making. Very soon they’ll go for checkmate and the Great Reset will be a reality.
        Non of this shit is happening by chance………..

      • Yes ‘responsible Capitalism’. How can you disagree with that?

        The old term ‘laissez-faire’ just meant ‘irresponsible Capitalism’

      • @Miles

        They any to reset capitalism in their favour. They are not sacrificing anything by implementing the great reset, all the sacrifices come from us.

        Do you really think a bunch of billionaires are going to suddenly give a toss about the masses?

        You can forget religion because that will be modified to suit their cause.

    We sometimes talk about hunger in the world as if it were a scourge that all of us want to see abolished, viewing it as comparable with the plague or aids. But that naĆÆve view prevents us from coming to grips with what causes and sustains hunger. Hunger has great positive value to many people. Indeed, it is fundamental to the working of the worldā€™s economy. Hungry people are the most productive people, especially where there is a need for manual labour. – UN Chronicle, the flagship magazine of the UN ~ 2019

    Profits are private, losses are public.

  11. XR and the Greens must be rubbing their hands with glee (sanitised) and laughing their cute little fair trade cotton socks off. Middle Ages, here we come!

  12. “Profits are private, losses are public.”

    Here endeth the lesson. It’s another example of the Royal ‘We’ somehow extended to include parliament, the Lords and corporate entities.
    Grovel ye shall,you peasant bastards, for we despise your apathy,indolence and willibg malliability .

  13. I like to remind people that it should not be called The Cost Of Living Crisis, but the Cost Of Lockdown Crisis. Then throw in a crazy green energy policy and we have the perfect storm. The people are being conditioned to have rationing of everything they used to take for granted; stuff that they should still have access to if these wankers were not following a global agenda.

  14. The waste of this present Government beggars belief. Ā£37 billion on track and trace that didnā€™t even work, Ā£400 million on the Nightingale Hospitals that not one person was admitted too, Ā£40 billion on HS2 and rising instead of just improving the present network, Ā£1 billion to Ukraine and rising with no end in sight, etc, etc, etc. The easiest thing in the world is spending other peoples money. If I was in charge, the first thing I would implement would be non government oversight on spending. A war on waste. The NHS in particular. I would save billions, to be then spent on infrastructure, border defence, veterans care, affordable housing for deserving people not the detritus of the world. I can but dreamā€¦..

    • BF@ Afternoon BF, as far as I am aware HS2 is now estimated at 126 million and they are busy chopping out all the northern areas.
      Another overpriced unnecessary con trick.

      • Evening Vern, sorry, just seen your reply. Itā€™s unbelievable how a government can actually outspend Labour on vanity projects and white elephants. The HS2 project is the daddy of them all. To save 20 minutes getting into London?

  15. Itā€™s ok folks.

    Auntie Liz is going to sort everything out for us.

    Old Rishi suntan, (Jess Phillips in black face), has had his chips.

  17. Mark my words, at some point these ā€˜smart metersā€™ will be used to allocate you a daily ā€˜greenā€™ energy ration. After that, you will pay a green tax on every ā€˜excessā€™ kwh. It will be a great new green idea floated by some cunt at the wef etc.

    Sometime After that energy will be rationed and it will just cut off until the next day when your allowance is used up.

    If you think its a conspiracy and If you dont believe that theres a simple firmware update they can do to the meter to achieve this then you are a gullible cunt. The smart meter can send your readings every 20 minutes.

    • That is why I have refused one each and every time they insisted I have to have one. Until I am forced to have one by law, they can fuck off. Then they can still fuck off.

      • No bother, disconnect the tails and put them straight into the consumer unit…. pull the main fuse first though..

    • Scottish Power is now trying to scare me into having a smart meter fitted on the basis that the old meter may now be ‘dangerous’. I shit you not.

      They are desperate to put the equipment in place so they can control not only generation but consumption of energy too.

      Cunts.

      • Same here Paul. I was told ”It’s a legal requirement” My reply was do you want me to make a complaint to OFGEM? Sounds of rapid back peddling. I have told them they can put a heritage meter in, the smart ones they can insert up the Bourville Boulivard. CUNTS

      • By design, or by accident, politicunts have brought about the fuel and inflation crises. OK, COVID might have been released into the wild unannounced by the Chinks but did we really need to throw the kitchen sink at it in a totally random way? Some (cheap) anti-viral drugs (that donā€™t further line the pockets of the elite) may well have ameliorated the worst effects if administered early enough. But, Orange Man supported the idea so that was shut down forthwith (funny how the NHS now administer anti-virals in the early stages of COVID for vulnerable patients – no, nothing to see here, move along!). Instead Slimak threw mostly untargeted Ā£billions (a small amount was directly targeted for his non-working class mates of course) around willy nilly with more reckless abandon than even Corbyn might have down. No tightening on spending to fund it though (the white elephants of HS2, Net Zero et al continue to be priorities) but inflation is encouraged to reduce the debt and taxes raised as well.

        BTW, having touched on man made climate change, IMO itā€™s a complete load of bollox anyway. Good article on it here:
        https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/the-climate-scaremongers-was-it-really-an-unprecedented-heatwave/

        Then thereā€™s the burden of unfettered immigration and sharply increased fuel prices. How do the politicunts behave in the face of these issues? Why, they ā€œsanctionā€ that nasty Mr Putin over his war in Ukraine. Leaving to one side sympathy and support for Ukraine what will be the effects of these ā€œsanctionsā€. Firstly, the whole of Western Europe directly (and indirectly for the UK) is mostly reliant on Russian gas. Putin can, and will (despite the eliteā€™s beloved EU whinging that itā€™s unfair for sanctions to be applied in reverse) reduce (and charge as much!) or shut off this gas. Heā€™ll probably throttle it most in winter when it will hurt most. You say the UK doesnā€™t use much Russian gas but it does have electricity from France and gas from Norway. Those supplies will go elsewhere. The lights will go off. We may not have a three day week like in the 70s (because weā€™ve shifted most of our energy dependent manufacturing to China for them to save the planet with their coal powered energy) but itā€™s like a time warp back to the bad old times otherwise.

        Then thereā€™s Putinā€™s response to us in blocking grain supplies. This will cause massive migration to Europe (and, no doubt, the the Europhile UK as well) turning up the pressure to way beyond where it was when Callaghan was booted out by Thatcher to sort things out (and we donā€™t have a Thatcher this time around – Truss might beat Slimak to No 10 but she ainā€™t no Thatcher). The West reacting to Putin is like a first year Primary student (specialising in transgender studies these days of course) playing Kasparov at chess.

        Cost of living crisis?! In the immortal words of BTO: ā€œyou ainā€™t seen nothing yetā€

    • Itā€™s already been agreed by Ofgem, 30 minute readings and variable charging depending on demand, itā€™s all designed to save you money on your bills, fancy a cup of tea, put the kettle on between 11pm and 6am, fancy watching a bit of TV, but it had better not be in peak time. šŸ˜‚

  18. Add to this the threat of a mass general strike by the various unions over pay and conditions.

    It’s all very well unions demanding inflation-busting pay rises from the State, but that means higher bills and taxes for everyone else, which in turn will stoke inflation ever higher which means more pay demands etc etc.

    It seems that the Silent Majority are going to feel the shitend of many sticks over the next few months especially with the predicted rise of gas and energy prices topping 80% come the next OFGEM price cap review come October and another 30% predicted in January.

    The rich won’t give two shits of course but for the ordinary cunt they’re going to find themselves back in the Stone Age come 2023

    • There’s one thing you can count on, the rich will stay rich and the poor will stay poor. And things will miraculously improve for everyone shortly before the next election. They will do it for as long as they are allowed to get away with it.

  19. Did the government engineer the cost of living crisis worldwide, or only in the U.K.?
    Must be that pesky unelected cabal again.

      • I’d like to think some of the younger members of this site got my 90s/00s Metal Gear Solid pop culture references.

        Just want to say I have a lot of time for SDV and enjoy their posts. (I say their because I don’t want to just assume it’s a fella or a lady).

        Now if the wannabe revolutionary/Guy Fawkes/V for Vendetta poster and the other poster, Yosemite Sam posted this sort of thing I might be more likely to read it and look into it. Rather than dismissing it as tinfoil hattery.

      We need answers. Hang on whilst I check my NHS email account.

      • Pretty much.

        Trump, Xi Jinping, Johnson, Putin, Rouhani, Netanyahu, all the commies, fascists, kleptocracies, theocracies, democracies, they all had a big group hug, set aside their differences and agreed to cripple their respective economies just for jolly and out of spite for their citizenry.

      • We couldn’t even agree on what measures to take in the UK, differing between the home nations.
        As for the rest of the world, some like Sweden took it easy, others like Australia and New Zealand went bonkers, so no, it wasn’t coordinated, only in the loosest sense.

    • If its anything like the road to Glossop its full of fuckin potholes too.

  20. Fishy Sunak placates the people by paying them to stay at home, but neglects to tell them he is selling Sovereign Debt Bonds to China to keep people idle, and just happens to put taxes up by a record level for those with least and give away a fucking fortune of our money to every chancer, fraudster and Family member he can – we will be paying for his insane folly for the next 100 years, and we are now effectively owned by China – Sunak has royally shafted us.
    Fuel jacked up by a fortune after Biden shuts down the keystone pipeline etc and decides to start flogging the US National Oil Reserve to dictators, basic foodstuffs going up by the week with the constant scare stories about the next shortage or pandemic they have been given the script for this week.
    A huge part of dictatorship is keeping the people hungry, broke, afraid and increasingly dependent of the State.
    I believe either our “politicians” in general are either the most stupid, greedy soulless bastards who ever walked this earth, or they are ball deep in selling us out – there is certainly a lot of the former but I increasingly believe “our betters” are trying to engineer their vison of our future, and we are incidental in it.
    I see a future of revolution or subservience.

  21. I see both Vernon, co existing for the future grab, as witnessed in Canada, Holland, Sri Lanka turned fucked and Egypt ready to default on the interest payments along with many other countries trying to stay sovereign nations but there politicians sold them down the Swanee to the IMF, London and Wall Street free money.
    The interest payments on debt alone will come to haunt even the very heart of the West.
    Hence the green reset to save they’re asses and that makes us mere mortals the slaves of they’re trade.

  22. There’s nobody to vote for. For the first time I really feel that and I’m 56 years old.

    I can’t vote for Liz Truss because she wants to restrict the rights to strike. Whether you agree with a strike or not it is a fundamental human right to withdraw one’s labour. Why would I vote for anyone who wants to restrict my rights? I’m a card-carrying trade union member and I will never vote for anybody who attacks the trade unions.
    Never. Besides, the UK voted for Boris Johnson not for a pound shop Thatcher clone or a billionaire who thinks it’s funny that he doesn’t know any working class people.

    Labour? What do they actually stand for? They sacked a front bench minister who supported workers by joining a picket line so they certainly don’t stand for the working class.

    Immigrants, gays, transexuals, atheists, Muslims you name it they will support them. But you’re white, working class and male all you are good for in Labour’s eyes is to pay your taxes and shut up. I haven’t forgotten David Lammy on the morning after the referendum saying we should just ignore the vote because it didn’t go the right way as far as he was concerned. That’s the quality of MP you will get if you vote Labour.

    Desperate times.
