Bank of England Takes Property Blame
The group that decides the interest rate deliberately fuelled a consumer boom to boost house prices and personal debt so that "UK Plc" could avoid recession.
http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30400-1256664,00.html/
This some had already realised but to hear the previous governor of the Bank of England admit to it was just breathtaking and sickening at once.
The social disease of rampant house price inflation has been created from interest rates kept artificially low in order to avoid a recession. This inturn created an era of cheap credit, and a speculative asset boom. We now have a society addicted to credit.
The independence of the Bank of England is a complete falsehood.
I don't remember this story reaching the evening news I wonder why.
I hope this finally enlightens some of you who refuse to acknowledge the reality of NuLabours so called miracle economy. I rest my case.0 -

If you cant afford a property in your local town, then better yourself, improve your skill set, increase your earnings, move to an area you can afford.
Theft is theft, plain and simple0 -

All abuse should be reported by hitting the red triangle. Abusive pm's can be forwarded to the abuse team also. It's the only way to deal with trolls.~Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.~:)
