    One of the things that is so wrong in the UK is that dunces and yes-men get promoted and elevated to very high positions of authority. Whether or not they have a clue what they're doing is irrelevant. Step forward the board of the Bank of England, for example.

    Real reason behind all this is our so called political leaders need 7 million pounds a day to keep the luxury hotels full of illegal immigrants that number can only increase as every day more arrive. Neither conservative nor labour party are doing anything to stop this problem. The job of our so called political leaders is to protect our country not destroy it by inviting millions more into our country to live in hotels at our expense. If the numbers increase as i believe is going to happen the govt may need 14 million a day this will not in any way impact them as they live in nice safe areas and are all making large a amount of money both from their salaries and the kickbacks from big business.

    The saddest thing is people will lose there houses and struggle even more and people will still say the money spent on the coronation was worth every penny.

    So the usurious bankers are saying that inflation will come down if they raise the usurious interest rate to criminal levels…wow, that is not obvious.

    Thank God for Islam…down with usury!

    Our governments in Britain have kept interest rates artificially low for years and years and should never have lowered them in the first place and now interest rates are returning to their normal level, thats all.

    Why is the UKs inflation so high as compared to the EU?

  12. @williamjohnston4666

    January 14, 2024 at 1:44 pm

    Why does everyone even believe that they are trying to fight inflation ? They are NOT. They are actually fighting DEFLATION, by deliberately creating the very inflation they pretend to be fighting. This whole inflation fighting guff is a LIE.

    UK inflation is deliberate.

    Fake data too.

    All those BOE negative forecasts about the UK economy my months ago …none of them happened ALL INCORRECT just like many which caused serious problems to the GBP ….and happy days for the US

    Don't rule out the greed factor here….I have just been to Tesco where I had previously bought a pair of military style trousers with cuffed legs which were priced at £22 and I see that hey have new stock of the same product at £27…..That is a pretty big percentage increase is it not…..Pensioners have had a 10.1% rise despite their purchases being weighted towards food and fuel which has of course increased far more than that…..In some sectors there have been 20% wage rises….

  20. @steviegwhizz345

    January 14, 2024 at 1:44 pm

    Real inflation based on cost of living is in reality well above 25%.

  21. @bobjrdj

    January 14, 2024 at 1:44 pm

    So even after the Jeremy Hunt budget, where we now pay more council tax and more income tax and many low income people now starting to pay tax because of his failure to alter the basic rate tax level, we are still the worst performing nation, paying the highest taxes, paying the highest food prices, mortgages through the roof and household bills at record levels.
    All these "measures designed to tackle inflation" have not made a single jot of difference and what does Jeremy Hunt say? "It's disappointing". What a complete joke.

    It remains so stubbornly high because people keep flexing their plastic whilst asking for higher wages in order to maintain their lifestyle, its the poor who will suffer as per usual whilst the baby boomers and the rich will be laughing yet again. When are people going to realise that they live in a totally broken system.

  25. @BulletProofBrain

    January 14, 2024 at 1:44 pm

    In 1980 Paul Volcker increased interest rates to 20% when inflation was 12% at peak. In reality BOE rates should be 20% and 25% at high street banks.
    Money has been too cheap for over 40 years and the pendulum needs to move back to savers.

    Interest rates back to where they should be. Zero rates are the sign of a broken system.

  30. @davidtwist3659

    January 14, 2024 at 1:44 pm

    Inflation is because they are still printing money and till they remove this money from circulation it will continue to rise. All Rishi doing.

  31. @hazethere9410

    January 14, 2024 at 1:44 pm

    It was only a few weeks back they said inflation would be back to 3.9% by the end of the year. That is laughable. Let's be honest they aren't even being honest about how high the current inflation rate is and rely on peoples ignorance on how that's calculated to get away with it. Britain will simply slide into a third rate power with third rate living standards, and stay there, the data all points to this and if I recall rightly Britain is predicted to have a 58.5% drop in living standards (source bloomburg pulse survey may 1-5 638 respondents)

    None of this will stop until the housing crisis is resolved. There is too much incentive to keep house prices high, keeps wealth with the asset owing classes. With a TFR of 1.5, the population should naturally reduce and allow young people to not be put under huge housing pressures. The boomers dying will help but this wont be solved until they accept that houses should be to live not an investment.

  33. @akwal1

    Rates need to go to 5-7% to stop people spending

    The bank of England are incompetent.
    They should have raised interest rates more than a year ago.
    Get ready for the prolonged recession coming

  37. @brendanhughes850

    Recovery can only come when you all start to tell the truth. What is coming to you all in Britain is so frightening. Why don't you expose the truth?

    The taxpayers will be expected to keep all the Afghans, Ukrainians, plus the rest who should not be here like all the illegals ,whilst they are struggling with higher mortgages and cost of living, and now Sunak has back tracked again over getting rid of the EU rules, roll on the general election let’s vote for the Reform Party, sick of broken promises,

    Good news for savers then ! Borrowers have enjoyed the lowest rates in history for a decade, whilst savers were ignored.I recall rates hitting 17% in 1979, so 4.5% is not that high.

    Incremental is the Chinese way.

  47. @adamfernandez3701

    January 14, 2024 at 1:44 pm

    The Banks are making big money out of high interest rates and not passing it on to Savers. Repossessions will increase with every Rate Increase thats the plan to seize peoples homes .

  48. @brianwillson9567

    January 14, 2024 at 1:44 pm

    With inflation over 10%, interest rates should be at least that. Anything less is state sponsored theft from savers. The prudent, pensioners etc.
