   I think interest rates should have been risen a lot sooner, that way we wouldn't have the inflation we have now.
   I have a feeling we are in for years of financial turmoil, similar to the early 90's – house repossessions, businesses going under, reduced demand for goods and services – it doesn't look nice at all.

   0.5% won't be enough to stop inflation, but any faster increases would crash the housing market. Inflation in the UK is actually 13.50% this year.

   Don't you just love how people look to the government to stave off destitution. The reason we are in this disgraceful shambles is 100% the fault of this Conservative??? government. (& I am a conservative). At the same time as they place fit, healthy, energetic, dynamic, young people under house arrest for nigh on 2 years. They completely & utterly fail to put the UK on the path to energy self sufficiency! About 90% less government is what we need. Not more! Their culpability in this whole crisis is axiomatic!

   Bank of England? Joined at the hip to the Fed.Inflation is caused by government printing money to bribe voters and to engage in war and vanity projects like taking care of third-world invaders and HS2.Now it's time to pay up for all the things you voted for.'Free'' healthcare, welfare, armies of useless police , social workers, counselors, translators, emasculated military and monstrous bureaucracy.

    We need to scrap the political government and the bank of England. There is no debt as bonds are artificial enslavement. We need a fractional reserve credit system, so when you deposit £10 in a bank you get the other £90 credit as well.

    All part of the plan.
    1. Devastate the economy and create artificial debt through unnecessary lockdowns.
    2. Create massive inflation through printing billions.
    3. Further impact the country through raising the cost of living via the “new green deal” etc.
    4. Raise interest rates so people can no longer afford their homes cars etc.
    5. Buy home owners out as part of a debt relief program so that they will “own nothing and be happy”

    The world needs a currency reset. We need to move back to sound money backed by gold.

    We've created the COVID debt by bad decisions, and you can pay for our mistakes.

    Raising interest rates to tackle high inflation is a blunt tool. In the process you are going to make people with mortgages not be able to afford making their mortgage payments every month if there mortgage payments keeps going up every quarter. Eventually it will lead to defaults and house repossessions.

    The biggest cost I have in life is government. If I didn't have that, none of the other cost rises would be that bad.

    Income tax
    National insurance
    Council tax
    VAT
    Fuel duty
    Inheritance tax
    TV licence
    Road tax
    Insurance tax
    Capital gains tax
    Drivers licence every 10 years
    Passport every 10 years
    Parking at carparks tax already paid for
    Inflation caused by printing money
    Inflation caused by high taxes
    Flight tax
    Alcohol duty
    Toll roads on roads paid for by Taxpayers already.

    Add it all together and let's be real. You don't have much left over.

    Slavery. The services we get back in return are not worth it and would be better if government were taken out of the equation.
