The UK Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee voted to increase interest rates today - guess where the blame was laid?

Earlier today the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee decided to raise the bank rate from its historic low of one quarter of a percent to wait for it one half of a percent.
