Interest rates: Why have they been cut and what does it mean?

Rates had been at 4.75% since the summer after two reductions, and came down again amid a backdrop of slow growth in the economy.
Here the PA news agency looks at what the decision means and what the Bank expects to happen to the economy.

uk crime rate will drop and more jobs created as a entire industry/tourism grows and less wasted police officers less wasted prison space all for a plant which is nature which could help stabilise economy cannabis could help fix the UK bearing in mind we can't even keep prisoners in prison and from research cigarettes/alcohol are worse and they are legal even prescription medication comes with its side effects that can be way worse and people are already smoking cannabis in every village/town/city's all across the uk so why not make it work to your advantage and what are the uk saying that countries that have legalised are criminals ?
