Its not that I give him any credance, but others might, so I feel that it is my duty to serve and protect the wishes and needs of a nation by countering the whims of an idiot.

Depending on where you work, and what you work at, you might have to, though if the interest rates start climbing as predicted by many of the economists out there, even that may not be an option for long.

Can you name the economists? Would these be the same ones who did not predict that the casino economics of Labour would not end in tears? I don't have my crystal ball on me but raising rates would serve no purpose at this moment, rather than taming inflation they would make it worse, as most of the inflation is coming from Oil and food prices which we have no control over.
I accept that we are in difficult times but if we take Canada for example that cut far more severe than we have, they came out the other side and are doing OK now, things will work out in the long run.
Sorry chief, you moved onto my patch again there with the rate rises. Can you name me any as I have read more than a dozen top analysts and economists that think nothing of the sort. Infact, I have only ever heard laypeople in the pub and on here say 10% plus rates are on their way. It is also my job to know, predict and advise on this matter.<br /><br />-- Sun Mar 27, 2011 6:11 pm --<br /><br />law74 said:Chairman Wesker said:i dont want an alternative does that meen i stay at home ?

And the majorty expect rates of 2-3%, no one is saying 10% plus 2-3% is still considered a very low interest rate historically. You really think 0.5% was going to stay? It's unheard of.law74 said:I think that a 2.5% increase on the rate of VAT is something that was etirely in the remit of central government.

Just three of many economic sites that are predicting that while inflation grows and the economy stalls under the face of the cuts, interest rates will have to rise, causing untold misery to many in society (not the "big society that Dave belongs to of course).
