7th line down.

It says that inflation rate was for last year.  It is misleading to compare it to current inflation.

Mel, this was what you stated. Since the article made it clear that this was for last year, it was misleading. The article also made it clear that the inflation for the US in the previous year was 4.7%.

You tried to compare the current inflation rate in the US, to the previous year in the UK. An apples and oranges comparison.

He read it wrong.  
Richie,

You really should be more careful jumping in like that and showing once again your total ignorance and lack of reading comprehension.

The 2.5% UK inflation rate WAS for last year. Also the article stated that the inflation rate for then US LAST YEAR was 4.7%. This is a valid comparison.

Since you are totally lacking in understanding and of limited education, I will try to make it simple for you to understand. The 8.6% you referred to was not for the last month. It was for the YEAR ENDING in May 2022.

In the other article I referenced, (which you totally ignored) showed that the UK inflation rate for the YEAR ENDING in May 2022, was 9.1%. This is what should have been compared with the 8.6% for the US.

Please try to be more careful with your reading.

Richie,

Trying to change things again? As quoted above, you clearly stated that you thought the article stated that the inflation rate was 8.6% for the last month. This clearly shows your lack of reading skills and understanding. Also I was responding to Mel's confusion regarding the UK inflation rate which he thought was 2.5%. Something which apparently was beyond your comprehension.

So I was not wrong. Instead you were yet again.

Interesting also how you are utterly incapable of making a coherent reply without resorting to infantile gutter language. I guess someone with your limited education is incapable of anything better.

Hi James,

Maybe richie needs to behave in such a manner to cover for his inadequacies elsewhere!

Interesting article on the rise of the religious right and their use of the abortion issue to gain power.
