CPI Feb IR 2012

The bank of England have released their Quarterly Inflation Report. Why the MSM give so much attention to an organisation like the BoE who have such a poor track record at ‘guessing’ the CPI rate is beyond us – but we digress. The report is full of the usual ‘fan-charts’ which seem to be all [...]
