so theyre under inflation

But then so are the NHS staff?

they should be on 27356.64

Otherwise the % of both would be the same

Yeah that's more like it

but thats regular inflation... not wage inflation

and I dont know how much they were rising when labour where in power.. they might be on target by like .. 80's standards or something

so in 1981 a nurses pay was 4,450 :/

according to the inflation calculator they should now be on £17,186.05

So they're now over inflation?

17k is shit for a nurse

so basically they have been receiving above inflation pay rises .. probably between 2000-2008

which makes sense, labour basically threw money away during that time.. which is fine, we were in a boom... it just took 10yrs of austerity to fix it, thats all

Oh damn this is interesting

I'll take it with a pinch of salt.. since A) its sky news .. and B) he said US and germany are our biggest trading partners

our biggest trading partners for gold are canada and the US, germany is not even in the top 5

Twitter is such a shit platform for stuff like that

I think he just said

largest trade partners

wait, if I look at the latest data, germany comes into the top 5...

in which case US and germany is true

which appears to be a very recent thing

but the biggest is still canada

Huh

What?

So what's the upshot of it?

in 2018 its Canada, US, Germany, Kyrgyztan, Turkey

Im talking about for gold... which is what hes talking about

Yea

But what he actually said

was just trading partners

so his statement was right

Im just correcting your original point

about him being wrong

he wasn't wrong

I dont understand the significance of trading gold in that manner

you just didn't read what he said

a big spike that distorts the figures, thats the story

Ya pretty much
