"Crisis what crisis" as Jim Callaghan famously espoused just prior to his downfall.
Is there a certain dichotomy between reports of massive queues at Airports which I myself have experienced at Edinburgh, Birmingham and London Heathrow with people off on Holiday and an alleged shortage of cash forcing people to tighten their belts ?
What percentage of the populace are really struggling and not just facing slightly higher bills for Food, Fuel and Utilities ?
These days I work in Security which is not particularly highly paid profession, the rises are more of an annoyance rather than an impediment to my lifestyle. Is the latter probably not true for the majority of the population ?
The way the media are portraying the situation is as if everyone is struggling which I would contend is patently nonsense.
