	Bank of England Governor to bosses 'Wage cuts now possible'
		When the baggage handlers at British Airways walked out in support of their brothers and sisters (and wives and husbands) who had been sacked from British Airway’s in-flight caterer, Gate Gourmet, the British press unleashed the usual anti-union abuse with claims that the dispute was a conspiracy planned by the trade unions.

		This Chancellor's proud claim is to have given the bank its independence - on his own terms, of course - and Mr King as deputy governor has been making the new model work.

	Harsh Reality: Debacle Could Happen Again : A $27 Billion Bet On Tokyo Stocks Shuts Down Barings
		The governor of the Bank of England sought Monday to play down the crisis that claimed the life of Britain's oldest investment bank, blaming "a rogue trader" for the death of Barings PLC.

		Both the size and the leverage involved in those positions was evident in the Bank of England's calculation that the 3.8 percent fall in the value of the Nikkei index in reaction to the Barings's disaster had added another $280 million to the firm's losses.
