Re: Increasing wages boost morale, economy (none / 1)
snarking aside, the 0.25% rate increase so far seemed to be pretty meaningless. The figures I saw for what it added to a typical monthly mortgage (£60 a month) didn't seem enough to make much of a dent in a the lifestyle of someone earning enough to get that mortgage in the first place.
