No, the UK is doing about the same. Look at the data:

https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/inflation-rate

Netherlands: 14.3%

UK: 11.1%

Germany: 10.4%

Euro area: 10.6%

Italy: 11.8%

etc.

"The UK is simply doing worse WRT inflation than any comparable country, and nobody, not even Conservative UK politicians, really debates this."

Nobody debates this because outside of the HN anti-UK bubble nobody is claiming it, and nobody is claiming it because it isn't true. This is what I mean by HN discussions about the UK being hot garbage for the last few years. Way too many posters are willing to simply make things up in order to attack the UK.
