I don't understand - what's going on here? Is this god or bad for us HPCers ultimately? I thought the BOE wasnt intending helping the banks with extra cash injection!
I am completely lost now.....

Interesting - everyone held off the last lot, but this tme the cake has been snarfed.
Does this mean there is a desperate hunger for liquidity?

The Bank of England is desperately trying to prop things up - reminscent of when we crashed out of the ERM in 1992.

That time it took £3.2bn. So far, to shore up this trainwreck has cost the UK taxpayer over ten times that amount.

Capitalism for the poor, socialism for the rich.
