Subject: BS: Printing more money UK What is that?
Ok so the papers are claiming that the Bank Of England will print more money or to use another expression "quantitative easing", although the Government are denying such a thing.
So how does that work and what good will it do? Who will benefit? Is it borrow Peter to pay Paul?
Anybody capable of putting it into simplistic terms just exactly what it is all about. Please no techy responses, I have a headache.
