Consumer inflation in the UK has reached 5.2%.
This is just another sign that the country is going to the dogs. With the credit crunch biting, the housing market stagnant at best, and the price of every day commodities rising faster than at any point in the last in the last ten years, something must be done.
We need cheaper products, and we need them now. But how?
If there is one thing that Panorama has taught us, it is that children in the Far East can make things very cheaply indeed. Surely it is not too much a of stretch to train them to make other things for us, apart from just trainers and jeans? If we could get them into food production it would go quite a long way in reducing your weekly shopping bill, and this should be the overall aim for everyone at the moment.
So come on Tesco, come on Waitrose, let’s see you train up little Sandesh into a highly-skilled bread making machine and let’s start making Britain great again.

If there is a credit crunch in this country then why am I still getting heaps of junk mail and annoying phone calls off people trying to sell me loands or a credit card?
I’d love to go to the dogs, only they’ve shut Catford track and White Hart City as well. Bastards! And think of all the tax I could pay if I won…..oh, damn
Wasn’t Jonathan Swift’s solution that people should eat Scottish children? I believe the idea was to deal with over population AND provide a cheap and renewable source of food. Pragmatic man.
The “Soylent Green” solution then, Megan?
I’m pretty sure they’d just eat the food. That might not be so bad though, I never really did like the booty pieces of bread on either end of the loaf.
Keef – because the crunch isn’t with consumer lending? Duh.
