Unfortunately, this is no April fool's joke! However, even I did not see this hike in wage rises in such a short period. This will have a knock-on effect in all western established economies in the G7, as we just cannot get workers into employment for £11.44 per hour in the UK. £400 per week just does not cut it any longer. All the political parties have sat over the explosion in our cost of living and done nothing.
This is Parliament's fault and it sits with no one else but the political parties. They are all the same. If you vote for any political party you will get the same, if you vote Independent you will get change.
Let's face the facts - the average house price in the UK is £350,000 and in Windsor it is approx £695,000. The average UK wage is now £35,000 (nearly 20 x the average salary). The average rent in Windsor is £1,800 per month and child care £1,500 per month. Can we see a pattern forming? This change in the US shows that no matter what the authorities do, you cannot undo the negligent financial control over our economy, which is now coming home to roost.
This is solely due to the mismanagement of our economy and seeing zero growth for over 30 years.
When will we learn that enough is enough? Please step up and vote to make change. It is a binary choice, vote for any political party for more of the same OR vote Independent for real change.
