Reply to: What question would you like to ask a member of MPC?

[Old Greg]

Good meeting, can't post anything about it though.

Made my views on banks heard

Does money really equal debt or is it all an illusion based on mutual confidence?

This isn't 1st April joke, so keep it serious - tomorrow I am meeting a member of Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC).

At the meeting I'll have the opportunity to ask a question, maybe two - so it's your chance to voice your ideas.

- When is the first base rate rise expected

- Do the MPC deem quantitative easing to have been a success

- Views on the housing market

- Views on the way certain banks manipulated LIBOR

- Mervyn King or Mark Carney

- Is Mervyn Kings 6 million pounds pension justified

I'll ask him if my Ltd can borrow from Bank of England a couple of billions for 0.5% per annum.

Is that a question or statement?

FFS, meeting in 2 hours and not a single sensible reply.

Will the MPC just let me be, and let me be me or shall we see?
Will they try to shut me down at the BoE?
It would feel so empty without me.

Should I buy a wheel barrow to carry my shopping money around in ?

do they believe there is enough spare capacity in the economy to allow it to grow without major structural investment? and where is that investment to come from considering how unwilling banks are to lend, and companies are to invest their reserves....

I spent overnight thinking of sensible questions and seriously can't think of one interesting enough to ask that they would be willing to accurately answer.

As such meh.....

Actual scrub that and ask them this...

Sofas should be shipped free in a Brum help to buy housing scheme.

Not forgetting looser monetary policy in relation to sofa hire purchase agreements.

Were none of you at the back tempted to stick two fingers up behind the guys at the front in a 'bunny ears' gesture?

[Old Greg]

I'm sure you'll have plenty of ideas e.g. your idea of banning people from buying Porsches with their bonuses, your idea of curtailing the free financial markets and other tried-and-tested Soviet ideas
