        Its called quantitative easing which means they print fifty billion quid from thin air isnt it?
        The money is pumped into the economy with the intention of inflating it i.e boosting the economy which could lead to higher inflation which could then result in higher interest rates if we return to growth.
        They have been doing this for a while and it doesnt seem to be working-i think we are in a situation similar to the depression of the 1930’s but QE costs nothing because they are creating money.

        Not the torries as the Bank of England is independent now. To raise this money we usually sell bonds picked up by China and the middle east countries, we will need to pay it back.

              I saw the interview she did regarding Labour’s “big idea” on getting unemployed youngsters into work. My God it was embarrassing.

              Maybe she should stick to banging on about equality for women and leave the serious stuff to the men. :whistle:
