Bank of England Governor may resign next week

[Organ Morgan.]

Mark Carney could quit his Bank of England role within DAYS after his 'Project Fear' predictions were repeatedly proven wrong: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...rnor-DAYS.html

Is he sulking after doing his best to sway people to stay in the EU with a series of doom-mongering predictions prior to the referendum, or does he think HMS Britannia is heading for a financial iceberg?

Sacked more like, he was Osborne's poodle

[Organ Morgan.]

Instead of resigning, Carney's announced he's going to extend his contract for an extra year. The pound's up half a percent versus the euro and US dollar today.

Totally unrelated to this thread, have you seen the film (The Prestige) where David Bowie plays the part of Nikola Tesla?

No I haven't , its a bit of an odd film I believe, loads of big stars in it though , never really though he was that good an actor, felt he was cast as he was odd looking and strange sounding ,for off the wall parts ?

I came across it mentioned last night when I was reading about Tesla, like you say some quite big names in it, I was surprised I hadn't heard of it before, Tesla was meant to be a bit of an odd character anyway so it might suit him, I might watch it on the weekend just to see what it's like, thanks anyway.


(Sorry for the disturbance Organ, as you were. )

Hard for his predictions to be proven right or wrong yet TBF.

Amazingly, the economy is continuing as if we were still at present a member of the European Union and able to trade tariff-free across the 27 member states”.

It then points out with devastating bluntness that, “This is because until Theresa May invokes Article 50, we are still at present a member of the European Union and able to trade tariff-free across the 27 member states”.

Or, in more technical terms, Brexit hasn’t happened yet and “the shit hasn’t hit the fan”.

Precisely.

At present we don't know the terms or even broad details of any potential withdrawal from the EU. We can't even say with 100% certainty that it will happen. Until such a point that it happens and fine details are released/leaked, the only thing to do is carry on as normal. Sure, businesses etc will be looking at safeguards and planning for a number of different eventualities, but they can't do anything until Article 50 is revoked and what form of withdrawal takes place, if it does.

Pressure seems to have been coming from the far right of the Tory party on Carney, for 2 reasons.

He spoke out against brexit when they feel that it was not his place.

He has kept interest rates really low (for the good of 90% of the population), this annoys many in the Tory party as they have been missing out on interest in their savings and various funds.

Not to go all Taunton Blue, but I've been to the Tesla museum in belgrade and it's very interesting.

Prestige is a good fulm but must be honest, I was getting a bit confused by the end. You'll see why.

Interesting

Just to add, there is not much tesla/bowie in the film. So don't get disappointed.

[Mrs Steve R]

you got me interested now so will have a look myself,it didn't get much publicity

Most films are over hyped anyway so that might not be a bad thing.

Ahh, that was my main interest really we saw an advert last night for a car with wireless phone charging which Steve didn't know was possible so I starting looking for info on it for him, I have read quite a few stories about his work being suppressed on conspiracy sites but I don't know how true they are, if there is a museum about him I'm guessing it can't all have been, was reading this last night..

I didn't expect anyone else to answer that's why I didn't start a separate thread, I was genuinely sorry for disturbing the thread though, unlike you, piss taker
