Watch the US for future inflation prospects

The Telegraph: Bank can learn from Fed's handling of core inflation

The US has rising core CPI (Excluding energy and food) with a slowing housing market and economy

The UK housing market and economy are doing well so future inflation should go higher than the US

The Bank of England and the MPC can't even learn from their own experience, let alone anyone else's!

Mervyn seems to be under the impression that they'll be able to lie their way out of soaring inflation indefinitely, come what may. This is evidenced by Mervyn's attempts to manipulate inflation expectations to the degree that he's "warning" industry groups not to ask for pay rises while ignoring they core inflation, so as not to slay the sacred property market cash cow.

The MPC members do not have a Register of Interests by the way.
