Last Saturday, June 18, large crowds marched through central London to protest the rising cost of living in Britain.
Inflation has become a huge problem across Britain and Europe, as Russia’s war with Ukraine stifled the supply of food and energy. “Cut war not welfare.” The demonstrators said.
The TUC, Trades Union Congress, an umbrella organization for labor unions research suggests workers have lost about $24,450 since 2008 because there was not enough pay with inflation. “Johnson’s government is facing heavy pressure to do more to help Britons struggling with soaring fuel and food prices and domestic energy bills” said The Associated Press.
In one example of the crunch in household finances, the average cost of filling up a typical car costs more than $125.
