Myths

The Bank of England (& foreign counterparts) caused the Financial Crisis by reckless raising of Bank Rate from an affordable 3.5% in 2003, to an unaffordable 6.5% in 2008, causing borrowers to default on repayments and web of interlinked Banks to go bust. Bank Rate is now 0.5% – which is excellent but not enough – the world needs Taxless Collateralism.

GNC - Gross National Collateral is the accirate measure of economic success.
