Subject: Re: BOE raises rates again to 4%

It is correct I haven't provided any direct evidence, but then neither have you.

However, I have been involved in UK politics since 1979 at a pretty high level and I have access to sources that are not in the public domain, although a large amount of data is available if you know where to look and are able to interpret it.

Having said that, it is obvious that the reasons can only be inferred after the fact anyway.

So when you say that only "some" people voted against David Cameron, the PM at the time, well yes thats true, but a different "some" people voted against all of the political leaders/parties so that clearly doesn't add to your argument.

As for Brexit not being necessary for change, consider if a EU country wanted to change something as mundane as the rate of sales tax to less than 15%, oh look, they can't, its illegal.

Just because it is in the Guardian newspaper or wikipedia doesn't mean to say it is true.
