How many of these people were talking about inflation a year ago though?
The official line was that inflation would be temporary and transitory and would remain low.
The cso was still quoting very low inflation statistics coming from covid lockdowns last year, nobody in officialdom was warning about high inflation even though it was being seen elsewhere else that opened up before us

Inflation was already well entrenched before the war in Ukraine, it was supply shocks from covid along with money printing and negative interest rates that started the fire , the war in Ukraine through fuel on the fire .

There's a fairly impressive line up there, and serval speakers that I'd have an interest in listening to (and perhaps questioning, afterwards ).

It's unfortunite that it's not close to where I live, as I wouldn't be able to travel /stay overnight, that weekend.
