They clearly haven't learnt the new paradigm from the US as we have - print money, inflate like hell and fiddle the CPI.
Works a treat. You have to suppress M3 data and make sure no one is intelligent enough to understand "public sector net borrowing". Oh, and generally keep everyone panicking about anything in particular, stressed, working long hours, and ensure the financial sector herds them to within one pay-cheque from starvation and financial disaster so they haven't the time, the mind, the guts or the energy to walk away from the telly and get feisty.
Any that do, you roundly dismiss as doom-mongers, religious extremists and general nutters. You can always detain them for 90 days if needs be and if they don't play nicely, lock them up under the mental health act on the grounds that they would be mad to jeopardise financial stability.
