    The world is about to hit a recession by the looks of it.

    And there is nothing that anyone can do to fix it given that interest rates can't be lowered further..

      We should all sell our houses to each other again. That will fix the UK economy. The rest of the World matters not one jot.

          If China is exporting deflation that makes an interest rate rise in the foreseeable future even more vanishingly unlikely.

                  I thought China was entering a process of de-dollarisation and aligned with the Rouble, a mistake surely since that's dropped on it's arse again - 100₽ to £1........
