Pump up the volume
Bank may pump more cash into UK

Very easy to start, not so easy to stop.
Another terrible mistake by GB and BOE.
Just watch what happens when this money – now being stored – hits the streets.

Whose streets ? I thought all of this money was going abroad, or being used to replace
foreign money which is now being repatriated. On of the main causes of the bubble was letting
foreign banks pump £800 billion into the British economy, most of it in the form of short term loans.

“Taking on the extra £25bn would allow the Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to see the next set of quarterly economic forecasts before it decides whether to ask the Treasury to extend the scheme further.”
You can’t see the forecasts till you print more money – GB

Good point, mth. Let’s just read that again:
Taking on the extra £25bn would allow the Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to see the next set of quarterly economic forecasts before it decides whether to ask the Treasury to extend the scheme further.
