in one interview, that bank fella said "peole can't afford to keep up with the payments for their mortages etc so we can't inscrease the intrest rate"

and in another interview, on the same day he said "we can't give out big pay rises because of some reason or another which i won't explain to you"

so on one hand things are costing more and we are working harder to earn more money to pay for them
and on the other hand, we aren't going to get a pay rise because peole think it's a bad idea
and on the toher hand, the shell drivers get a 14% pay rise by striking

i wonder who's idea that was
