CPI is currently much higher than 2% anyway... whats the bet the ONS fudge the figures the month the Civil sector wage settlements are due?

With inflation heading upwards, I am betting that the ONS are going to have lots of pressure to fudge... The government desperately need rate cuts which Merv and the BOE will not deliver until the inflation threat has passed.

BEsides, wages should be settled using RPI. I cant remember the last time I snacked on a widescreen tv or filled my car up using an Ipod... CPI seems to be a false measure that suits this corrupt government.
