Is Blanchflower mental or what? Why does anyone bother to report the drivel that issues from this moron?

We are well placed to weather the storm with our strong fundamentals
A weak currency is a sign of a weak economy and a weak government

Blanchflower does seem to enjoy the limelight as a UK economic commentator and presumably this suits the press, judging by how often we hear about the thoughts of this person who is no longer a member of the MPC and doesn't even live in this country.
If we stop buying our debts, there will be pain and Blanchflower will say 'told you so.'
If we keep buying our debt, Blanchflower will say it would have been worse if we'd kicked the habit.
He's on a roll.

right, Darling/Blanchflower, so...
.... if all your boats have holes in them and are sinking, you could tie them all together to make a much bigger boat - and call it the "Lloyds-TSB-RBS-Norther Rock" boat!
Then you could keep the water from overwhelming you by using this big QE bucket!
Utter deception, smoke and mirrors from our politcal masters

Blanchflower is an american and has no business intervening in british economic matters. It's because of people like him that kept voting for loose monetary policy while asset prices and economy was growing at unsustainable levels that got us into this mess in the first place.
