The downside of the UK interest rate cut!

An interesting but scary observation from David Smith, Economics Editor of The Sunday Times, about the massive interest rate cut in Britain on Thursday:

"There were only two occasions during the 20th century when the level of interest rates was slashed by a third. One was in August 1914, at the start of the Great War, the other was in September 1939, on the outbreak of the Second World War".
