    Who is going to hold Sterling with interest rates at 0%?

    Who is going to buy all this government debt with interest rates at 0%?

                One of the things I find interesting of late is watching the currency markets when interest rates are changed. Typically, a 33% cut in interest rates would trigger a pretty dramatic fall in the value of the currency.

                Interesting. ('scuse the pun)
                Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

                  Can't we export some of the local chavs to Iraq or somewhere?
                  I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.
