Food prices are rising far faster in 'rip-off' Britain than in Europe
30 07 08 - 13:52 Food prices are rising more quickly in Britain than in similar economies across the globe.A study published yesterday puts the food inflation rate at 9.5 per cent in June.
That is almost 65 per cent higher than in France, where the figure is 5.77 per cent, and a third higher than Germany's 7.12 per cent.
The cost of energy - petrol, gas and electricity - is also racing ahead, imposing a crippling burden on families and pensioners.

Why are British people getting such a rotten deal? It looks like profiteering, since there is such inexplicable disparity between nations. Corruption affects us all.
