“Current Stance of Policy Looks Broadly Right”
Markit reports:
UK Manufacturing PMI slumps to three-year low in May
Key points:
- UK Manufacturing PMI at 45.9 in May, from 50.2 in April
- New orders drop at fastest pace since March 2009
- Manufacturers cut back output, employment, purchasing and inventories
Never mind folks, MPC member Spencer Dale is on the case:
“At the moment, our view is that … inflation should slow to around the target at the back end of 2013 and as a result the current stance of policy looks about broadly right,” Dale said in a television interview with CNBC.
Spencer Dale shall henceforth be known as “Crazy Loon, Spencer Dale”.

“Spencer Dale shall henceforth be known as “Crazy Loon, Spencer Dale”.”
Not as bad as Andrew Sentence, from what I recall.
You must mean “Crazy Loon, Andrew Sentance”. Loons everywhere, L.O.
