I've lived in a country with high inflation rate, and I guess it made me pretty much insensitive to changes like this. I've been living in the UK since February, and if the prices got higher within this period of time, I didn't notice. They're very high, but that's because I compare them to a third-world country where I'm from. The 9% inflation, though, doesn't mean that the prices for goods went up by 9%. And you can see from
this article that it's actually more like 4%, which, honestly, isn't easy to notice. If your average shop bill was 40 GBP, it would now be 42. Would you notice that?
I think the purpose of this article is to show what consequences such a policy of Great Britain and the rest of the NATO bloc in particular has. If you continue to adhere to this position, then everything will only get worse. Of course, now these 2 pounds do not play any role, but in a year it will already turn into 10 pounds, and maybe more.
