    Stevie wrote that about himself you know, a bona fide genius? I think the comparisons end there. But perhaps not if you think it was written about Nixon though. :emoticon-0112-wonde

    Brexit is to blame for inflation, claims Mark Carney

    Really somebody at the Telegraph could have come up with a better headline for an excessively tedious interview with the former governor of the Bank of England. How about “Man who caused inflation along with his successor blames it on Brexit”?

    FACT CHECK:
    Interest rates in the United Kingdom are controlled by the Bank of England.
    Money is injected into the British financial system by the Bank of England.
    After the Financial Crash of 2008/9, the Bank of England cut interest rates to virtually zero and threw copious quantities of money into the economy: Quantitative Easing.
    Inflation is a monetary phenomenon: too much money chasing too few goods. Therefore, the Bank of England caused inflation.
    The Bank of England (BoE) reacted too slowly to inflation, raising interest rates too late and too slowly.

    Carney was the man who claimed that Brexit would lead to higher unemployment. Last month, unemployment fell to 3.8 per cent. In 2018 he claimed that house prices would fall by up to 30 per cent and there would be a recession. The “higher inflation” has taken four years to arrive so it obviously did not read the Carney Guide to Brexit. And if the BoE knew it was coming, what happened to their remit to control inflation?

    Did Brexit cause high inflation in Germany and Italy, Mr Carney?

    Of course, we only have to wait for former BoE employee Rachel Reeves to move into 11 Downing Street for all of our economic woes to be solved. What a shame she has as little credibility as Carney and Bailey and plans to spend billions subsidising a fantasy Green Economy.

    Now that Carney has become a Net Zero fanatic, I wonder how long before he gets off with Saint Greta and produces Damian the Eco Warrior.

    I’d like to think if one lesson is learned from this farce it’s that interest rates as a tool to manage inflation are pretty weak when it’s supply-side.

    Obviously erecting trade barriers and increasing costs businesses face with previously unnecessary bureaucracy is going to eventually lead to higher prices. That doesn’t mean it’s the sole cause but burying heads in the sand and saying Timbuktu has higher inflation so we should ignore the Brexit impact is just dumb.

    As with GDP, inflation is a simple to understand metric but not that useful without context. It’s hitting the poor here the hardest and they’re seeing their purchasing power decrease rapidly on top of the decreases they saw pre-Brexit/Covid.

    Father's Day must be as confusing as **** in that dopey teachers house. <laugh>

    Seriously, she shouldn't be anywhere near children, and no teacher should push a political or fantasy ideology over biological facts.

    You have kids. Are they being brainwashed?

    That's a non sequitur, as the post clearly refers to the children in the class, who are being subjected to the bizarre views of some acting in loco parentis.

    But as you brought the topic up, do you have any children, or even a partner that is liable to produce any at some point?

    https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/06/17/dont-tell-parents-child-trans-chief-rabbi/

    Don’t tell parents if child comes out as trans, Chief Rabbi tells schools
    Guidance warns making families aware ‘can itself be a safeguarding risk’ as teachers do not know how they will react.

    Kids coming out when they’re ready to do so = sensible. Especially sensible if the father is a short, balding Neanderthal.
