    You failed to add SAS's quote from the 22nd June. Perhaps the BoE has decided things have changed in the last couple of weeks since those wise words.

                  "stronger consumer spending"

                  "Strong economy"

                  "record low unemployment"

                  These are some of the words used by MSM yesterday. So in the face of such robust economic strength the BoE keeps interest rates to 0.75%

                  Someone somewhere is telling porkies.

                    The economy is only held up by high house prices and has been for years. Rates have to be low to keep the emporers clothes in view.
