he number of billionaires in the UK nearly doubled between 2010 and 2019 from 29 to 54. Over the following 2 years it has more than tripled to 177. Now the Bank of England has the audacity to tell wage earners, pensioners and benefit recipients to suffer the consequences of what is likely to be the longest ever recession, escalating escalation, and rising interests rates in order to protect the wealthy from even longer term impacts. Also note that the number of millionaires has gone up over the last 11 years from 506,000 to 2,490,952.
