The Bank of England is on a mission to convince us that "printing money" is the correct solution to the current economic problems. I think this will be disastrous but the propganda still emanates from their utterances.

Ah, spending money is the solution. But people don't have any money, so they'll have to borrow it to spend... Wait, I think I see a slight flaw in this otherwise cunning plan......

Great idea actually !

I am paying £200 a month fuel at the moment, so we could all buy wood burning stoves and burn the money instead ..

But, hasn't Gordo been telling us that everything's under control, he knows exactly what he's doing, so much so in fact, that he tells us that other country's leaders are asking him for advice and following his lead in his task of saving the world!

Or are they making it up as they go along, and the ineptitude becomes more apparent as each day passes?

I understand that the Zimbabwean Minister of Finance and Brown have been comparing notes.

Didn't previous labour Governments also use this cunning plan?
