Mervyn King has no credibility with me. He was asleep at the wheel while the economy was experiencing huge inflationary expansion (slightly masked by the deflationary effect of China), in the lead up to one of our worst busts ever.

Personally I would sack Mervyn King before Bob Diamond, because Mervyn has done more damage to our economy.

Ask Mervyn King what he thinks his job is.
Ask David Cameron what he thinks Mervyn Kings job is.
Ask Bob Diamond what he thinks Mervyn Kings job is.

I am not happy with the BoE becoming the regulator for its own banks.

If you ask me what Mervyn Kings job is, it is to create and maintain inflation. But, I doubt he knows why.
