So there were no food supplies etc? A whole bunch of people still worked.
If the costs go up, then inflation goes up, which in turn leads to wages going up. If the recent cost increases are allowed to drift out of the inflation figures(after a year), then the economy will be better than having an inflationary spiral. Even the Unions knew that in the late 1970s.
Have the £150 council tax rebate and the £400 energy bill rebate been taken into account with wage demands? Are the media reporting that?
