SIR Mervyn King is demob happy. In his first live TV interview for a decade, with Channel 4’s Jon Snow, the governor of the Bank of England was happy to criticise the coalition over banking reform, the Treasury over economic policy and Aston Villa for its football.
Sir Mervyn retires next July and clearly feels free to speak his mind (at least, as much as central bankers ever do).
