ahh, of course, it won't have anything to do with them, it won't be their fault, external forces outwith their control, blah, blah, blah.

I like this one: roughly translated this statement says

We have lost control of the money supply because interest rates no longer affect the yield curve; this role now belongs to seemingly random probably asian international capital flows. If you take huge long term leveraged bets on house prices then we might not be able to fix your problems by lowering interest rates.

soon be time for the tinned food + guns approach to investing.

"...Money markets show British interest rates -- already the highest in the Group of Seven industrialised countries at 5.5 percent -- are expected to hit 6 percent by the end of the year..."
