    No I didn't mean getting Indian's to hire them I meant getting some US and EU contracts in to have software developed and delivering these.

    This is going to kill the UK.

    The theory is that with interest rates low, the economy will pick up thus encouraging external investment in Britain and strengthening the pound. Keeping interest rates high but killing the economy would also kill the pound.

    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.
