With respect to prices, I have been checking all the retailers that I use and have not found any increases over the last month for any of the things I buy? i.e., lenses, bodies, memory cards, etc. I don't know about the high street retailers, but I don't use them. If there was a trend, I think the large internet retailers would show it and I have seen no increase there.
As far as GTW, I find it a pity when politics and issues far beyond photography (which I believe to be the only issue for this forum) is injected in a way that is far from open and clear. I am not against discussions of the kind he tries to start, but in a forum that deals with societal issues.
Having started this thread, I find that it has far outplayed its role and lost focus of the initial issue and suggest we close it.
