    I suppose that is one way of looking at it.
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

      The government are thinking of getting in to pound shops.

      Since QE 1.0 only got as far as rebuilding bank balance sheets. For QE 2.0 they want to get the money direct to the consumer.

      So they are going to open pound shops where you'll be able to buy freshly minted pounds for 90p.
