Response To: Bank pumps £50bn into stalled economy

@innovate, the money goes to the banks indirectly by pumping gilts which banks own. Banks leverage the increase asset or sell the asset at a profit. However the quick indirect effect to this is OIL goes UP, and consumers SPEND LESS. Considering the UK service sector is 70% of GDP, ditto many other G20's, QE does not resolve the problem, it just keeps the 1% stocked with caviar. Welcome to the OIL creation of n(times)# DIP phenomenon.....this will not end until QE stops, QE is a mechanism to fund governments who refuse to balance budgets. The independence of BOE does not exist as the current slow down is natural for the time of year, as I've stated previously. King refuses to allow the Magic 2% to be hit as this would cure unemployment (see Germany for how to create & power a country on low inflation). I'm afraid whilst King & Co are in power of the central bank, they will not manage the economy successfully as demonstrated over the past decade & 2% target is never hit as the average.

Response to: Growth demand splits Bank committee

Osbourne should now be working for Labour, for it is the same veiled policy that brought the banks down last time.Also the £100bln round 1 stimulus "tax payer backed", is similar policy to the Bush forced mortgage lending that created the problem. Although this time bankers can make their bonuses without loss to the bank, HA! Let's see how well they pick who they give the loans to, another if you can tie your shoe laces here's some money financial scandal in the making! FT Article.
