LETTER: Bank of England U-turn
Could it be this vast sum of money is being used to keep the Tory Government backers, from the financial sector, afloat when the Euro zone finally allows Greece (and others!) to default on its unpayable debts? This will result in banks everywhere nursing huge losses on their loans to Greece.
QE2 is not going to help the two and a half million unemployed nor the growing number of young people who cannot find a job. George Osborne sits back and waits for the stagnant business sector to grow when household spending is being cut to the bone. Increased inflation is going to hit anyone on a fixed income for years to come.
