He usually talks sense but he totally lost the plot when he said interest rates should be slashed.

Well, I'd trust him more than the rest of them. He was Finance Director for Shell or something, wasn't he?

If it happened, it just depends what degree of autonomy they gave him.

Unfortunately he looks like Victor Meldrew and sounds like one of Harry Enfield's Old G i t s.

None of which is as bad for his political reputation as being in the lib dems.

So what, he might have seen it coming, but anyone with half a glass eye could have seen the HPC coming.

So, looking at that, he aint really no demi-god is he?

Me, I think that Vince Cable did little more than voice many sane peoples opinions on the house price disaster.

I thought low interest rates were one of the causes of the HPI bubble.......
