    NO they will not be printing, you will find that its virtual money and so what if where doing QE, it worked in the 3rd quarter last year by giving us growth. Plus the figures out yesterday are not final either. Oh and look, overall our ecomony grew 0.9% last year.

    Oh and you may not like this, but its a well known fact that a war would boost the economies of the nations that are involved as well as those that supply them. Thats what happened in the 1940's in the USA and thats what made the USA the economic powerhouse it was for the remainder of the last century.

    ElaineB is my favorite “expert” of good homes in a bad neighborhood, economically speaking.

    Idiot #2, Keynes, Greenspan, Bernanke, Mervyn King and the rest of the gang are proud at trolls like you. War cost money, it does not produce wealth, it destroys wealth and matter of fact, the US got out of the depression after world war 2, thanks to innovation and a strong manufacturing sector, what the US doesn't have anymore. Secondly you F''ing moron, qe=printing digital money that isn't worth the paper that bought the debt of the banks and it's buying it's own bonds on the open market. It never worked so it won't work and it doesn't benefit the people. Only the banks, that are broke.

    1/5 they are debating 50 or 75 billion.The debt is over 1.6 trillion dollars and growing at over 200 a year mind boggling stuff,Its no wonder Cameron was desperate at the EU summit all that works at all in the country is the City and if the EU regulate it the whole country is down the tubes.Scotland is busy preparing a referendum to get the hell out and even Cornwall has seen anew seperatist movement

    6, Chicken hawk and Loud mouth Cameron was desperate at the EU summit defending it's capital of fraud (London) against the French and Germans who wants the Tobin Tax ( a tax on every worthless derivatives they, the mega banks, trade between each other and is being bought up by it's so called central banks, quantitative easing) to destroy competition, London. At the otherside the treath is working, since the banks in London are closing positions and moving to Asia, Singapore and Hong Kong. Not to mainland China, because there they hang fraudsters, but since banking in China is like fishing in murkey waters, i'm sure they don't mind them at all so long it benifits the elite. Anyway, the Ugly brits are losing it and I wonder if the those scots have the guts to leave the UK. I doubt it.

    No, you have all misunderstood what the fabled BoE Governor Mervyn King is actually saying.

    He is saying 'and my dick is only this big'!

    This pratt and the c*nt Brown have more than anybody to put Britain into the mess is it is in today.

    Mervyn King, like 'Camoron', has never held a job in the real world: he is an academic and should go back to doing it.
