23.6% of All US Dollars Were Created in the Last Year

Who owns the Bank of England?

When was the Bank of England nationalised?

Although we were still privately owned, from the mid-19th century onwards we started to behave less like other private banks and more like a central bank. For example, we had a control of issuing banknotes in England and Wales - and taking responsibility for protecting the financial system.

We were nationalised by the government in 1946 due to our importance to the economy. Other central banks across Europe passed from private to public ownership around this time too.

More completely shameless lies. The government did not 'borrow' and does not need to 'pay back'.

Where did the money come from? The answer is that the money was created by the Bank of England at the behest of the government.

If the Treasury asks the BoE for funds, the latter is obliged by s. 13 of the Exchequer and Audit Departments Act 1866, to provide the money.

There is no 'borrowing', and so therefore the 'repayment' of this money (which will be part of Tory policy for the next election) is a blatant lie, and is designed to facilitate the grand-scale theft that is 'austerity'.

Starmer replying to budget speech. Given up on Annaliese Dodds (who?) which is not surprising.

4 million children living in poverty? An hour ago, he was complaining about cuts to foreign aid for Yemen (where?)

There is no "child poverty" in this country that is not self inflicted.

Ken: it hasn't updated since Friday's session on my PC (where I edited the header). Do you see Tuesday DOW in the header?

[kenbachelor] 03/3/2021 11:27

Manics - Why would the DOW chart be updating, when the market's closed?

[jordaggy] 03/3/2021 11:16
