The Credit Crunch!

[Queen Arawello]

I think this issue has been very much undocumented on this forum. It’s the single biggest issue facing the global, possibly after global terrorism and yet receives very little attention amongst Somalis.

 

I suppose people are too busy talking about trivial issues. The credit crunch has personally affected all of us.

 

 

Prices have rapidly increased. Check these out:

 

Meat and fish: +22.9%

 

Fruit and veg: +14.7%

 

Bakery/Cereal: +6%

 

Milk and dairy: +15%

 

This is even worse for those on benefits! The little handouts they receive from the government means they really have to priorities their money! that is 52% of Somalis in the UK.
