i wouldn't worry about interest rates
THE governor of the Bank of England has admitted they could not raise interest rates even if they wanted to.
Mark Carney told parliament that everyone who knew how the interest rate machine works has been made redundant and they have lost the instructions.
He continued: “There’s this massive old-fashioned brass computer with all kinds of dials and switches, and the last time we tried to get it going Eddie George lost three fingers.
“All we’ve got to go on are some handwritten notes saying stuff like ‘Charge inflation tanks before relaxing fiscal bladder IMPORTANT’ and ‘Ensure full liquidity in bond valves with right-angled dipstick’.”
