With Carney due to step up QE even moar, following the path of least resistance in the mind of a central banker, we can't help but wonder why it would be that UK financial services firms paid an "unsually high" amount of bonuses in April - even as the top rate sof income tax was cut from 50% to 45% that month. As Bloomberg notes, bonus payments in finance were 1.3 billion pounds in April compared with 600 million pounds a year earlier; begging the question of whether these British bankers know something we don't and want their money now?
