Why is it 0.5% when CPI inflation is at 2.4%? It's to steal from the value of workers' labour and savers' savings.

Nige's numerous verbal assaults at the EU parliament against the unelected New World Order schemers were the stuff of legends.

Re: Farage and how he profited from Brexit
I don't want a weak currency. I wouldn't say I'm in the political class - I'm from Trecenydd FFS
I'm just a bloke that does a fair amount of work in Europe and is worried about the future

Nice simple yes or no question for you. I watched the coverage of the Brexit result pretty closely and I would imagine you did too.
Do you recall anyone mentioning the result of a privately commissioned exit poll? I know I don't

It is and has been official policy for donkey's years of the Political Class to target an annual 2% devaluation of sterling. The pound is supposed to be a means of exchange and a store of wealth. Inflation is the primary mechanism for transferring wealth upwards. That's how, according to Oxfam's research, 42 people people possess the same net wealth as half the world's population, or 3.7 billion people.

I'm not entirely sure why you've said status quo parties are "my boys"
Re: Farage and how he profited from Brexit
I presumed you always turn out to vote for one of the status quo parties, and I still do because to me a plant pot would be quicker to discern that those parties are fundamentally the same.

Maybe the man who predicted Obama would still be US president throughout 2017 shouldn't be so quick to compare others to plant pots.
