the people who are affected most by high interest rates would tend to be younger households. older people, older house holders, are more likely to have paid off their mortgages they are mortgage free so they don t feel the impact of the increase in mortgage rates. you could spread the pain more broadly, so those households that, perhaps, aren t facing higher mortgage rates currently households that don t hold mortgages would potentially contribute towards the squeeze in demand by paying higher taxation. you could argue for a property tax, for example. yet there are also practical problems with using tax and spending policy to control inflation. history suggests it s hard to get the timing right, and when it comes to tax and spending political considerations often interfere unhelpfully. this is why the practice in recent decades has been to leave inflation control to the independent bank of england. however there is certainly more open thinking going on among respectab
things did suddenly pick up and kick in from last thursday when the sun reported it, but when you look at the timeline, the question is partly because the bbc said the sun s report contained new allegations what was the initial complaint? in terms of the situation we ve got on our hands, i want to say one thing upfront, which is you are balancing serious allegations, duty of care, privacy issues and legitimate public interests, and how do you navigate that fairly, calmly and do due diligence? i ve given a bit of context to a few people in terms of the numbers of issues we get coming into our corporate investigations unit. over six months, that will be about 250 and you take those and they are the serious complaints that are coming through of all different types. what happens is we have an outstanding corporate investigations team, they re very experienced, they assess the complaint. i m not going to go into the absolute specifics because of privacy concerns. i understand th
here to determine which year the anthropocene started. we re looking at the plutonium radioactivity in the early 19505. that was the point when this almost entirely artificial product was globally dispersed. and we pick it up from the early 19505 in sediments all over the globe. the last epoch change happened more than 11,000 years ago. a record is buried in a bog on the isle of wight. this is a really beautiful transition. you see the difference in the colour of sediments. the darker mud belongs to the ice age. the lighter mud is where the warmer holocene epoch began. but there s a major difference compared with what s happening now. these are natural changes here. this is a natural system that drives these changes. what we are doing right now, we are increasing the speed of these changes. we see that environments are pretty much getting destroyed. but this is part of the human activity.
they hold the fingerprints of human activity from the byproducts of fossilfuels, microplastics, and the fallout from nuclear weapons testing. and it s the plutonium from these nuclear tests that s being isolated here to determine which year the anthropocene started. we re looking at the plutonium radioactivity in the early 1950s. that was the point when this almost entirely artificial product was globally dispersed. and we pick it up from the early 1950s in sediments all over the globe. the last epoch change happened more than 11,000 years ago. a record is buried in a bog on the isle of wight. this is a really beautiful transition. you see the difference in the colour of sediments. the darker mud belongs to the ice age. the lighter mud is where the warmer holocene epoch began. but there s a major difference compared with what s happening now. these are natural changes here. this is a natural system that drives these changes. what we are doing right
