Anyone else from the UK get a feeling prices are rising?
It seems to me normal things like a haircut, a taxi, house prices or everyday groceries are stealthily rising in price... could it just be inflation? That seems to be the most reasonable explanation, but it kinda makes raising the minimum wage negligible.
Oh, cool. I get a few more pennies for doing the same thing, now I can buy the same stuff, with a few more pennies... 😐
Kinda makes it redundant, doesn't it?

No, that's the standard trick all over.
Even with things like government loans for education, colleges are known to raise their tuition rates just enough so they get that money, in addition to whatever the students would pay without the loans.
