Bank Of England Spends £85k Researching How Best To Erase Churchill
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity News,
The Bank of England has spent more than £85,000 of research money to justify wiping Winston Churchill, Jane Austen, J.M.W. Turner and Alan Turing off Britain's banknotes and swapping them for hedgehogs, foxes and puffins.
A Freedom of Information trail shows Savanta was paid £49,000 to run focus groups that told officials historical figures were "elitist and divisive."
Another £22,500 went on public consultations about which animals should replace them. The Bank called the result a "positive evolution," not censorship.

Bank of England′s tricky balancing act in dealing with global bond shock | Letter (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Complicated trade-offs raise the issue of whether the government needs to change its relationship to the Bank of England, says Prof Costas MilasYour editorial (The Guardian view on the global bond shock: Andy Burnham should take note, 1 September) implicitly suggests that the global bond shock will bring firmly into focus our government's fiscal responsibility.Fiscal responsibility is a precondition for avoiding a further rise in the UK's cost of borrowing. Nevertheless, fiscal policy has to be considered together with monetary policy. In fact, the current rise in UK yields poses a huge challenge for the Bank of England's policymakers, who will make their next decision on UK interest rates on 17 September. This is when the Bank's monetary policy committee (MPC) will announce the amount of government bond sales (or quantitative tightening, QT) to be pursued over the next 12 months.
