        'Sluggish' is a poor choice of words from the Bank of England, about our economy, with millions suffering in unemployment & poverty ...

        In reality our economy is in tatters, due to the Tory cost cutting & austerity measures, & repression of the working people.

        Interest is the main cause of global economic woes. Helping riches to grab more & more money while depriving poor from their earnings.
