I get the impression that someone recently added to my ignore list is talking about me. 'Roy'. Do one.

Why do you, like the others without solid arguments, always resort to childish jibes?

Mr Stride would have been right based on the previous month's figures. However, food inflation in Germany, Sweden and Portugal has fallen significantly since March - while the figure for the UK has remained stubbornly high.

Not for the first time. I’ve put several versions of Himmy on my list in the past.

Don't tell others to grow up until you manage to do it.
He’s quite Denso like. But I can see how he’s a good option for the mute button.
At that rate you'll only have those with similar opinions to yourself to talk to.
There's a word for that.

The Beeb article saysThere’s not that much difference in some EU countries compared to the UK. The way some people go on it’s as if they have zero food inflation and ours is sky rocketing. 2% difference between U.K. and Germany. Peanuts, considering they run the EU and their goods don’t have to cross the channel with all the alleged hold ups and expenses involved it getting food to a non-EU country. Why is that?
Is food inflation higher in Europe than in the UK?
Food prices are growing faster in the UK than in Germany, Portugal or Sweden.www.bbc.co.uk
"food inflation in Germany, Sweden and Portugal has fallen significantly since March - while the figure for the UK has remained stubbornly high."
"In fact, the UK's food inflation in April was higher than the European Union average of 16.4% and higher than all the major European economies."
And, there are 3 main causes of food inflation - war, poor African harvests, and labour shortages. We're the only country with severe labour shortages in agriculture.

Closing down opposite points of view is a left wing woke thing?
It's just the right wingers on here who do it though.
They must call it something different.
You can't 'repeat yourself' when you never told us about this mythical 'brexit bonus' in the first place...
Best you give up whilst you're behind!
Was that weights and measures reverting back to the dreaded and dreadful Imperial measurements, or little crowns on pint pots? I'm pretty sure blue passports have always been on offer should we insist.
mottie is probably right now working out whether to put on his rose tinted spectacles or his beer goggles...
Either way he's totally blind to the reality of brexit...
One wonders if he's right now out looking for those unicorns who told him about those 'sunny uplands' and mythical 'bonuses' and wondering why they haven't appeared...
I’ve had more than my fair share of 'bonuses' over the past few years and I still have one more big one to come. I'll be putting on my 'Thank you very much, Rishi' goggles on when that one comes.
