You'll take your kick in the b*llocks with 1% (Paid by reducing allowances and pension f*ckery even further) and what's more be grateful for it.......DT_Xtremez_42:

Most FMQ costs are already due to jump 01 Apr 17 and the follow 01 Apr for a few years, thanks to NEM. Mine is.

Remember Thatcher shafting us in the early 80s. Had to wait till November for news of the increase. Gave us 1 1/2% with 1% straightway and the other 1/2% in the January. Food and accommodation went up leaving everybody out of pocket.

I also remember the Torys giving us some mega rises and labour also splitting the rises, just remember all politicians are seeunts and care more about pumping money into schools and NHS, not buying a few more tanks.

I do remember a Tory Govt giving a double-digit pay rise (whoop whoop). But I also remember interest rates were 15-20% and Inflation was in the teens.

I may be wrong, but I thought the pre-Blair Tory Govt started the staging of the rises.

I also may be wrong, but I think it was Cameron's Govt that was the first to completely ignore the AFPRB reports and give no rise whatsoever. Wasn't one of the leading members also sacked by CMD for daring to suggest the military deserved a rise?

Step one Govt back from the milk snatcher and you'll find interest and inflation levels that would stop you sleeping for a long time.

Mortgage interest charges were included in inflation before Brown (a Labour chancellor) took them out so don't go double counting, 2 plus 2 just doesn't equal 8.

Oh yes the only mega pay rise I remember was awarded by the labour government in 1979, but implemented by the milk robber who took all the praise. 32%,if I remember correctly

Here's a free history lesson for you about where interest rates were under the Milk snatcher. They weren't much better under Heath either The sharp drop in the early 1990s was when Lamont tried to beat the market with taxpayers money and ended up costing us billions.

Anyway what shall I do with my 1%,

Don't know what your trying to say, pre Thatcher the Labour Govt created the two biggest spikes in Bank Rate and the country was ill prepared to cope as it struggled with a post industrial UK.

Yep there is a spike during Thatcher, caused by our exit from the ERM, but the trend is down.

Do you have a similar chart for inflation? Or doesn't that support your argument, or how about strike days and unemployment all of which tend to be worse under a left leaning Govt.

I thought we got a rise of about 12% in around 88/89 (just after I joined up).

If it's anything like our CS 'rise', it'll be the 1% again..... lucky the pension helps make up some of the difference from when I PVR'd !
