Butter prices

Have you noticed that supermarket blended butter has increased from 98p to £1.10 in the past week. Coincidentally (?) I see Sainsburys and Asda have been fined £116 million for their part in a price fixing scam with dairies. Net result is that milk producers didn't get the extra money, supermarkets and dairies got richer from the fixed, higher consumer prices, milk producers went out of business so there's now a shortage so prices of dairy products are going up. The £116 million is going to goverment coffers, consumers - us - are left to pay the bill. Scandalous!
