Higher tech prices ARE here to stay. It's Mr Farage's new Britain

Re: Profiteering

It's too early to call it profiteering. As no-one wants monthly price increases (it palys hell with budgeting) M$ are just anticipating the next 12 months. And others are increasing prices by less than their increase in costs.

Here to stay? Well no, once we are out of the EU and the single market, and have tariff barriers to trade with every country in the world, the pound will then recover against the Euro and Yen and the sun will shine every day, and the government will issue everyone with a dozen perpetually renewed virgins (of the gender of their choice). Then prices will come down tto reflect the new exchange rate and then go up to reflect the tariffs. So, no, these prices are not permanent.

And maybe we don't blame Farage for the prifiteering, if there is any, but we can damn well blame him and his unpleasant chums for the crash in the currency.
