"The CPI figure is just a joke - how stupid does the goverment think people are?"

That's a comment to this Daily Mail article on the real level of inflation. Of course this Labour Government's preferred measure excludes all housing costs and gives a large weighting to restaurants and electricals, the latter of which naturally fall in price whilst the former may be of less relevance to most people in this Country than it is to MPs with their snouts well and truly in the trough.

I, and many others, have been banging on about the fixed inflation rates for ages without any support from the MSM because they were in the thrall to Tony Blair. Only now that they have decided that it is safe to attack Gordon have the MSM joined in.
