/// Mr Rees Mogg said the governor deserved to be sacked because it was like the Bank announcing during a general election campaign what the economic impact of a Tory or Labour win would be. ///

Doesn't seem to be many 'facts' on either side.

Why should a Canadian who's could go back to his country of Birth at any time (presumably with a large pension pot not linked to the British economy) not tell it as he sees it? What has he to gain or lose by making such a statement?

Not really. Politicians seem to think scare tactics work. Perhaps because, in the end, they work better than people want to believe they do. Certainly it's punchier to sell the "we are doomed if we live message" as opposed to a somewhat more long-winded technical explanation of why EU regulation 17.53B, II (iv) acts in our best interests when weighed against the superseded Housing (England) Act 1997, section 4 subsection II, (vii).

You've accidentally hit the nail on the head. Toeing the Bankster, Corporate line will pave the way to many more sinecures, naturally, with concomitant million pound salaries.
If and when it all goes tits-up he can go back to his country of Birth at any time (presumably with a large pension pot not linked to the British economy)

Had he said that we would be much better off leaving, Rees Mogg (and the rest of the Brexits) would have welcomed his comments. For every 'expert. who warns what could happen in one particular scenario, there is another ready to warn what could happen in another. Those of us yet to make up our minds are no more enlightened by all this!
