Lt Col Charlie Brown I wanted to read the article but it came up with some crazy thing from AOL about collecting information.

Lt Col Charlie Brown
Sorry about that
The Bank of England has increased interest rates to 0.25% in a bid to rein in rampant inflation despite mounting fears over the impact of the Omicron variant of coronavirus.
Members of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted eight to one to raise rates from the historic low of 0.1%.
It comes after pressure has been building on the Bank to bring the soaring cost of living under control, with official figures this week showing the Consumer Prices Index jumped to 5.1% – the highest level for more than a decade.
In the minutes of the decision, the Bank warned that inflation could now peak at 6% in April, while it also downgraded growth outlook to 0.6% in the fourth quarter from a previous forecast of 1%.
It said: “Most members of the Committee judged that an immediate, small increase in Bank Rate was warranted.”
