Eitherway it doesn't make any difference to his ability (or lack of) when it comes to debates around many issues.

I do disagree with Sibley pretty much on everything in such debates and I wouldn't want to live my life the way he does, but if he is happy with the choices he has made then what does it matter?

interest rates are 'normal'

24 (or however many) months in a row show to me 0.5% is very normal at the current time, why should rates ever rise. the banks are making good profits.

I do believe this is the biggest problem, many are starting to see the current situation as normal.

I do believe long term 0.5% can't be sustained.

i know they are not sustainable long term. but they are 'normal' rates, as per the definition of normal in a mathematical sense

Rates 'must rise' to avoid inflation spiralNews: The Bank of England must start to raise interest rates this year to avoid the spectre of an inflationary spiral, the OECD said today...

Rates will rise and those farsighted people who rent and invest will be well off when interest rates rise.
