    will be interesting to see if wages plummet further

    Wages haven't fallen, they have in fact been rising, just not rising as quickly as prices until recently.
    If you think of it as 'us' verses 'them', then it's probably your side that are the villains.

    How much is this due to avoiding the 50% tax that is now 45%?

    We all know that we need positive spin to help us out of a hole, but let's not forget it is just spin.

    more people = more people working,and of course inflation has fallen to meet wages not vice versa,will be interesting to see if wages plummet further to chase the 0% inflation thats on its way

    Wages have to remain low to compete on the international stage.

    Inflation is part of the problem. As means that the real issues are never addressed. Debt is the next issue on the global agenda.
