Malcolm Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Worrying news from BoE…. Suspect we are looking at economic collapse in the UK. Inflation is rampant and the only way to stop that is huge interest rate rises… the economy is about to be thrown under the bus and we are looking at Dickensian poverty soon.

Inflation is rampant and the only way to stop that is huge interest rate rises… the economy is about to be thrown under the bus and we are looking at Dickensian poverty soon. Sterling is getting battered too , despite the rate rise yesterday , which makes things even worse as it will further fuel inflation if it stays at these levels . Interest rate rises usually support the currency but the BoE policy statement was very dovish suggesting there is only going to be further modest tightening of interest rates . That is good news for home owners but does not support the pound, nor am I convinced the BoE know exactly what to do. They have also revised GDP down further.

thplinth Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Here is a word that is a blast from the past that many of you might not have heard of... stagflation. It is here, right now. And it is a cunt to get out of. Usually preceded by an energy shock like for example the 70's opec oil price hikes or say starting a stupid war with a massive energy supplier like russia.

ger intae them Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 good move…… releasing more air back to its natural habitat.

Its too simplistic to say that people could walk or use public transport. Property in cities are unaffordable and public transport is expensive, unreliable and often unsafe.

I made it clear I didn’t agree with their actions, just thought it was a pretty tame example of ‘what kind of world are we living in ‘ from Malcolm. I can think of a million other things worse than letting someones tyres down. Like burning 2 houses down. I dont care what cars people drive, I have zero interest in cars.
