Did anyone ever believe QE would be reversed?

    Iceland ( a bigger economy than Scotland) let the biggest bank fail in 2009, they had 18 months of pain and then the economy started growing again for 3 years. Then in the last 2 years they reverted to old fashioned boom-bust model and now they're back tits up.

    A controlled and partial default would be only a reset button for some of the parasite elite who doesn't really contribute to the economy anyway.

    Another sensible solution would be allowing fracking in E14.
    <Insert idea here> will never be adopted because the politicians are in the pockets of the banks!

      Not really - A lot of those cockneys swear too much as it is without encouraging even more effing and blinding in the East End!

        I apologize for using British humour!

        E14 = Canary Wharf, also known as the London's Square Mile, most of the (foreign based) elite parasite has inflated property over there. Fracking would deflate the area:

          I'm no expert on London's geography, but I'm fairly sure the Square Mile is actually quite a long way from Canary Wharf

            So where is it? I need to recalibrate my drones!

              Iron ore is the most useful by the way.

                Gold vaults in UK are not safe (forgive the pun). I believe the best place if you really have tons of gold is to bury it in the garden. This won't work with silver though.

                  Long term - probably the right thing to do.
                  I'd say reveal rather than cause damage. The booms are where much of the damage occurs, the busts expose it. The elite is desperate to halt the deflation bogeyman, however, so it will remain business as usual for central banks, only with some rebranding, e.g. Operation Twist.
