Consequence of ZIRP and QE.

If you want to feel like you've won the Premium Bonds every month, just buy more BTL properties. Sorted.

Won't happen, banks take absolutely zero notice of these "rules", they aren't enforced and the govt quangos that are supposed to investigate and enforce will do feck all as they have always done. It is just there to appease Guardian readers.

It'sOnlyFair(tm)

That & "HardWorkingFamilies(tm)" gives me the urge to reach for my AK every time I hear it.

To be fair Gidiot doesn't use "It's only fair".

He prefers " Labour are a threat to security" and "Corbyn are a threat to security" and "[Insert name] are a threat to security".

Though he's not said that with the SNP....

This is not a government direction.

The prize fund is funded by the 'interest' that the Government would have paid on the money it has borrowed from the public who buy Premium Bonds.

So, if interest rates fall, the Debt Office has an obligation to pay no more than the going rate, to do otherwise is to waste the taxpayers money, whom actually pays for the prizes.

Less of that. We were only three posts away from AtW doing a live remake of Falling Down.
