    Inflation is caused by one thing. Unregulated government borrowing. Not Putin, not climate change. Morons in Parliament. Well, you voted for them. You obeyed them. So make your beds and get used to it fools.

    Reducing inflation by half is still 5% you bellend. Working and middle classes need an increase in disposable incomes or this country is going to grind to a complete halt. The rich do not spend their cash. They hoard it.

    Prices have got so high that the rate of inflation is likely to fall. That fall is nothing to do with the Government, whose lockdown and furlough policies inflated the economy in the first place.

    The real inflation rate including food shopping, petrol and utilities is closer to 35%, not the 10.1% that the Bank of England likes to tell us it is. Prices aren't going down, they just won't go up at quite as a fast a pace as they are now and they're never going back down. This was a self inflicted wound that anyone with an ounce of sense could see coming a mile off. None of the major political parties are honest regarding the causes of the high inflation and none of the parties would have done anything different to stop us getting into this dreadful situation, I suspect under Labour it might have been worse. I detest the lot of them. It's just theft and fraud done on a grand scale and the same thieves want us to vote them back into power to do it all again. And the sheep of this country will do just that. I despair.
    Edit: The Benny Hill music playing in the background was perfect. So fitting for these bunch of clowns in parliament.

    This man is out of touch.
    Inflation is predicted to be 2.9% by Xmas.
    Down from 10.7%. That is a 75% reduction not halving.

    Load of BS. The inflation was coming down with or without Hunt or BoE doing anything.

    LOL living standards are going to fall for the next 2 years but inflation is going to be 2.9% by year end – I think what they meant to say is inflation will be 29% by year end

    The UK recklessly spending money by holding on to colonial territories. The British continue to illegally occupy territories that don't belong to them: Anguilla, Montserrat, Bermuda, Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Turks and Caicos Islands, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Saint Helena, Ascension, Tristan da Cunha, Sandwich Islands, Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Heard Island and McDonald Islands, Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands, South Georgia, South Orkneys, South Shetlands. The UK holds 330 tons of gold and only 3.5 tons were mined in the UK in the last 1000 years. The rest is gold looted from across the globe. If the UK let go off these territories and sells the gold reserves then the UK can surely benefit it's people.

    He should rephrase that. How about we'll halve the rate at which inflation in destroying you. We aren't talking about falling prices for the plebs.

    Smear and fear about credit suisse then……………EU governance would be the problem not the BoE.
    Situation improving then with our economy, unlike Starmer telling the stupids there is an overnight success as soon as they get power?? Dishonest

    Meanwhile in the real world lowering the national debt you pay and create is not the same as lowering the national debt you have. Sunak said he would lower the national debt. What is this, Mug the public off with words week?

A.I. facial recognition tool to detect adult migrants posing as children

Published

on

By



An AI facial recognition tool that aims to detect adult migrants posing as children will be deployed at the UK’s borders next year.

The software will estimate a person’s age by analysing photographs of them taken at the border.

The Home Office says the technology will make it easier to identify adult migrants “attempting to game the system”, after initial testing indicated “promising performance and accuracy”.

But Human Rights Watch urged the government to scrap the scheme, describing it as “unproven technology” that will undermine the protections vulnerable children are entitled to.
