You said he/she ....Trolls are 'it's - as first mooted by Lucy circa 2006 (is she still alive?)

You're not Welsh as well are you?

So, there's a load of heavy s*** on the horizon because we are in too much debt, and yet all the political commentators are advocating we drop interest rates and make borrowing easier!

The Bank is not responsible for propping up the house market, its brief was to set rates to curb inflation, and inflation is rising.

Let's see if the Bank really is independent.

But inflation still within range. What is the outlook for inflation?

The BoE is in real trouble. Even the fake (as we all know) official inflation figure is too high. The real inflation figure is probably in 2 figures. So really they should increase rates. But the economy is on the verge of a cliff, so the pressure is to cut.
We are in a real risk of stagflation - poor or no growth and high inflation, like the 70s.

there is a big difference between inflation for lower/middle/upper class.

in the 1980's recession there was a big north/south economy divide and there were calls for a northern pound and southern pound.

maybe we now need a lower/middle/upper class pound?
