1) I voted for what they should do not what they will do.
2) Given 0 & 1, it will not help. I'm in the 'pushing on the string' camp. The BoE have cut rates and it hasn't done a thing at the other end.
3) Although we will have more short term deflation in most asset classes, there is a large inflation bubble building. One the is not going to be covered by earning growth.
4) defend the pound, protect those on fixed incomes (i.e. pensioners), etc.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Though I do agree with point 4.
And I reckon it will be 50bp cut - though I would like 100bp....Comment
