Just working on an online shop and noticed the cost of supermarket own brand butter has increased from April by 29%. It was £1.55 now £2. This is getting ridiculous, where is it going to end. I don’t think there will be many people not affected by this level of inflation. I don’t know the definition of hyperinflation, but I think we could be heading that way.

I think a lot are just jumping on the band wagon, increasing prices way beyond what they need to be. Rip off Britain.

Today the 8 pack are £2.25 and the 12 pack £2.80 (on a not very good offer).
Hyperinflation can occur in circumstances affecting the underlying production economy, in conjunction with a central bank printing excessive money. Hyperinflation can cause a surge in prices for essential goods—such as food and fuel—as demand outpaces supply.
Right now I think the supply is being artificially restricted and alot is via manipulation of the markets to meet net zero targets and push the green agenda.
Animal and dairy products are next on their target list and prices are going to get really crazy soon, all to discourage us from eating or using meat products.
Plus also product sizes have decreased to level’s you cannot really make any smaller, to hide the inflation via shrinkflation.
The central banks print more and more fiat and just raise the debt ceiling to a higher level at some point, it’s going to fall very quickly and a new monetary system will be needed. Which they already pushing. Cashless society and a digital social credit scoring system. Via which they will be able to restrict our consumptions and movements all in the name of saving the planet and us from ourselves.
Shrinkflation, I’m partial to a pack of pickled onion Monster Munch crisps. Multipack of 6 are now only 20g each bag, there are literally about 6 or 7 in a bag. It won’t be long before each crisp is individually wrapped. In 2024 I’ll be going to the shop and asking for A Monster Munch!
My family were talking about supermarket own brand butter the other day and how Aldi, Sainsbury’s and Tesco all put their own brand butter up to £1.99 per 250g block more or less on the same day.
At first we thought to ourselves that Tesco and Sainsbury’s are doing their thing with matching the Aldi price (I’m sure you’ve all seen the ads) but then it dawn on me that maybe, just maybe there operating an illegal cartel that has gone unnoticed.
It’s well known that supermarkets petrol forecourts are over charging, even with the recent cuts its still 10p a litre more than it should be according to the RAC and even premium forecourts have matched supermarket prices or even better them where they used to be 5p to 10p more expensive.
The RAC keep a keen eye on petrol price and brings it to public attention if were being robbed at the pumps but who keeps an eye out if were being robbed for bread and milk at the supermarket shelves.
Stealth inflation has been going on for ages now,you know what that is,its when you pay the same in money but get less product for your money.
Manufacturers just take the public for fools.

They all in it together with the goverments and the wef etc. I been saying this for ages and only now is it coming to bite many, who just didn’t care as at the time it did not effect them and now imo it’s to late to do anything, as is always the case.
They have created the chaos so they can offer the solutions that was already the plan. They printed more and more fiat, while at the same time companies made packs smaller or paid less for the products in a cartel price set by some regulator or body, like for example with milk and the farmers.
If any one is intrested look at this from the wef on https://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Transforming_Food_Systems_with_Farmers_A_Pathway_for_the_EU_2022.pdf
Who is actually running the polices the goveremnts are outlining and putting in place all to meet the gloabist agenda and save the planet via the green agenda, that’s what they say but the reality is very different. when you lok at the whole picture and the control they want over everything.

Speaking as a farmer from a 4th generation family of farmers, you are, for want of a better term, talking out of your backside.
Let’s put some simple reality into it.
Firstly, with regard to the document you link to – it may have escaped your notice, but the UK is no longer part of the EU. Thus, much of that document and such as the Common Agricultural Policy etc no longer applies in the UK.
You also seem to be looking for conspiracy theories with regards to your alleged ‘cartel’ between farmers and the government over the price of milk. Well, let me set the record correctly – There is no cartel.
What you do have is a system by which milk is subsidised via the Rural Payments Agency, particularly for farmers with smaller or more specialised dairy herds or with higher fat content of the milk as it costs more to produce. This actually keeps the retail price of milk down.
Without this small subsidy, many smaller farmers with dairy herds of less than roughly 150 beasts would either have to raise the ‘farm gate’ price of their milk to a level that no one would pay or go out of business. They cannot keep on selling things at a loss or with next to no margin!
If they go out of business you would be even more reliant on imported milk and with the value of the UK£ tumbling, it would be even more expensive. Plus looking at, for example the energy industry – do you see the folly of reliance on overseas supply?
Yes, the prices of milk and milk-based produce, in fact all UK farming produce, including arable and horticulture crops will rise. This is down to many factors:
The rising price of fuel.
The rising cost of feed.
The rising cost of fertiliser.
(Referred to as the 3 ‘f’s by farmers!).
As all three rely on imports (with Ukraine being a major supplier of fertiliser). Prices have risen dramatically. For example, Nitro-rich fertiliser has increased from circa £40 per tonne to over £200 per tonne).
As for feed, with the poor UK feed harvest in the summer this year (due to climate/weather), we will be more reliant than ever on imported feed for beasts over the coming winter. However, this must be ordered and paid for now – before the coming winter. Factor the falling £UK into this.
Then add in the rising amount we have to pay staff – our own family farming business has increased the staff salaries by 8.5% and they will rise further (else we will have no stockmen, farm hands etc etc).
One other factor that has risen unbelievably is the cost of farm veterinary medicines and Vet’s fees. Our own cattle TB testing cost has increased 3-fold this year.
For tenant farmers the situation is even worse, with rent rising exponentially.
So, farming costs are rising rapidly and by a huge amount. That is why farm gate prices have risen and will have to rise further – nothing to do with cartels or such conspiracy theories. If farm gate prices don’t increase, more farmers will go out of business and the UK will be even more reliant on ever more expensive imports.
Perhaps rather than promoting conspiracy theories, you need to get out and speak to a few farmers!
Love it. Straight from the farmers mouth or keyboard in this case.

but for all that he didnt take much out of it he sure as hell didnt make much for all the hard work… its a tough life
Current Car: Hyundai Kona Premium EV...2 way 40kg hoist
Last Car: Toyota C-HR Excel Hybrid...4 way 80kg hoistI have never said it was farmer’s that are setting the prices, you assumed, far from it.
I said “while at the same time companies made packs smaller or paid less for the products in a cartel price set by some regulator or body, like for example with milk and the farmers.
It’s Market manipulation and the farmers are the bottom of the chain and thus cannot manipulate the market. Unless they create their own market and sell direct like in their farm shop, who can they sell products to apart from the big few, to sell to the masses and controlled by multinational’s or regulator’s Who have for example kept the price of milk low for whatever reason, it is the case and fact.
As to why that’s another long discussion some of which you touched upon.
Maybe I should of made it clear, But the facts remain, it is no conspiracy theory.
The wef is pushing a globalist agenda and the fact that many of their young leaders are now leader’s of many countries around the world. They even said we have our people in place’s of power all over the world.
Even putin was a young wef leader, as was boris, as is the NZ pm, as is Trudeau and many other’s. Even the msm are part of it all. Who owns all these companies and mutli nationals and the private central banks and draws up the plans for goverment’s to implement and lets not forget the UN either with agenda 21/2030.
https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/outcomedocuments/agenda21
Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.
Even us in the Uk follow the UN charters and agenda setout. I have even heard mp’s ask in parliament what the goverment of the day, is doing to meet un targets and charters setout. So yep it does effect us even being outside the EU.
Maybe you should get your head out of where ever it is and have a good look at what’s happening around outside your farming world and look at the bigger picture, before it’s to late.
The wef is not an eu institution it’s a global institution headed by their leader, also they have a farming plan for africa also and many other plans for us, who many say are conspiracy theory but are soon becoming reality.
It’s so easy to say it all a conspiracy theory and just ignore the hard truth when it’s seems it become reality pretty quickly these days. Just as the dutch farmers and the reason for their protests https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62335287
Dutch government proposals for tackling nitrogen emissions indicate a radical cut in livestock – they estimate 11,200 farms will have to close and another 17,600 farmers will have to significantly reduce their livestock.
Other proposals include a reduction in intensive farming and the conversion to sustainable “green farms”. and those in Northern Ireland and ireland are finding out the same Irish farmers could be forced to cull cattle to meet climate goals.Irish farmers could be forced into bankruptcy by climate targets. who’s buying up the land, well the wef did say it would buy up all the land of the dutch farmer’s and bill gates now own’s the most land in america and also is heavily invested in lab grown meat as are many other’s of the elite.
So really I am coming from the same place, I’m not against farmers I am against the globist agenda being pushed in the name of climate change and other crisis’s that popup one after another and are created to cause chaos, so they can offer the solutions. Which is always more restrictions and control and not to support farmer but to destroy them as to build back better you must first destroy something.
At the heart of the 2030 Agenda are five critical dimensions: people, prosperity, planet, partnership and peace, also known as the 5Ps. It’s all a scam to make us think, they care yet in Ukraine i not herad once a call for peace only more weapons and war as it creates the instabilities and the action they took during covid and the actions they taking in this energy crisis. we become more and more dependant on them for everything and can do or say nothing about it as that’s now misinformation or may cause offense to someone or your a denier and the evidence is irrefutable, only none was really provided and our kids are being groomed to the cause, which is more like a cult. That’s another part of it all but not for this discussion.
Lets not forget sri lanka and their farmers An experiment that went badly wrong. In the spring of 2021, President Rajapaksa made an unusual decision: He banned synthetic fertilizer and pesticide imports practically overnight, forcing Sri Lanka’s millions of farmers to go organic. It proved disastrous, as a group of Sri Lankan scientists and agriculture experts had warned.
The widespread use of agrochemicals pollutes arable soil; United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) data show global pesticide use per unit of crop soil increased 75% between 1990 and 2016. This has made the case for organic farming increasingly popular, with advocates arguing that traditional farming methods are just as effective and far more sustainable and safe.
You did what they told you to do and then it was all wrong, it was the plan all along. Pretty much how we was told diesel’s was better and then it turned out they was not. How quickly we forget.
Seem’s though that following the UN advice crops failed, but i guess that’s where more GM crops will come in or as with the wef plans they will control global farming and whats grown and what we all eat, bugs an all.
Only thing is, I bet it won’t apply to them.
Now this article also tells us it’s happening globally, The real plan is to force farmers to give up farming and hand over the control of the land to them.
Henry Kissinger: “Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people.”
Many farmers have already soldout or stopped farming and use the land for solar energy or to grow crops for fuel additives, which now we need more of due to the E10 fuel over E5 and less food is grown as there is only so much land especially in the uk.
I hope I and many other’s are wrong, but over the last years I have seen it slowly rollout from all angles and the wef are heading it as the 1% control the world and they want ulimate control. It has nothing to do with being in or out of the the EU and what you believe will sadly many’s downfall.
No one care’s until it directly effect them, like with the cost of food and energy it’s all part of the plan for us to own nothing and be happy. The thing is how will they achieve that goal or prediction that they the wef want to come true.
All the points you make are good but, they all going to force many to do what they want. Same as the cost of living it will force people to use less and watch how it makes no difference, they will then want more. How much effect has what we done so far had on the planet, None, infact temperatures according to them have risen and they predict will rise. The planet has been warmer and colder than now, water levels have been much higher bujt they going by the last 100 years of records. geologist have a different view but that doen’t meet the agenda so they wrong. At 1st it was global warming but it was proven it wasn’t and the data used was incorrect, so then they called it climate change as you cannot argue with that, as the climate doe’s change. I agree we must protect the planet but lets stop creating and using plastic and lets stop follow the one’s that got us into the so called mess in the 1st place.
They want us against each other not united, as when we unite they are scared. Although it’s getting harder to fight back as the truck drivers in canada foundout, they stop your money and freeze all you accounts and that’s another goal they have a cashless society.
Yeah I am so talking out of my rear, just like you have no real clue as to how those you think helping you will be plotting your ulitimate demise, so they can benefit and profit and enslave us all to them. The technocrat’s will save the world, nope they will destroy it as many civilizations of the world have done to themselves in the past we will do the same again.
Her’s a recent decsiision of the wef site free to all to watch all out in the open.

Whatever they push is is the globalist agenda and in this video they say so and are not shy in saying so.
