Look at that twisted headline. They are asking BOE to not panic at inflationary data and raise the rates. But the headline says 'dont panic if rates raise' implying for the businesses/consumers.

"it should not make a knee-jerk reaction to inflationary pressure "
Hardly knee jerk - it should have raised rates a long time ago.
"There still appears to be spare capacity in the economy and wage demands remain subdued"
So as long as Joe Public is happier getting poorer and poorer with prices going up and up and wages staying static, then everyone's happy.

Time to join a union.

We have been borrowing from the future for the last 10 years. Government wasted spending has been financed by borrowing against our housing stock. I believe the party is ending.
