This week the Bank of England meet again for another interest rate decision, with another 0.25% increase most likely as things stand. However what's more alarming I think is that there is talk of some form of support/bailout for mortgage payers. The Treasury and Government are denying it and rightly criticising the danger it brings, but I can see them caving into it, simply because it would be far from the first time it's happened for something. While I'm more socialist at heart than capitalist, I absolutely loathe this bailout culture that has developed since 2008 in which every failure of capitalism is bailed out by socialism, in what I'd describe as giving life support to an otherwise dead system. What we need is more radical system reform (like what FDR did in the 30s), not short term interventions like what we've been seeing, but then this comes as no surprise as not only are our politicians somewhat inept, they are not capable of thinking beyond the next week/election.
