      Judging by the responses on this thread, no.
      Still it is amusing when mediocre poly-educated techies try to solve the country's economic problems.

        I wondered because, although a politician or even a contractor can go a long way without much of a clue about finance, I doubt someone clueless could rise to become governer of the Bank of England.

          We Brits may now be sitting and gloating at the eurozone. But when it comes to QE, our actions have been more extreme, and potentially more dangerous, than any other large economy on earth.

          This is a policy that will come back to bite us. Which is why, in the face of some of the most powerful vested interests on earth, the growing band of those who oppose it, must make their voices heard.

              It's far more amusing when mediocre oxbridge educated career bulltulipters give it a go.
              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                However, considering that the experts can't seem to agree either, CUK opinions are probably as good as any.

                  I'm sure if you asked voters, more QE or less inflation on thing your fuel / food costs I know, which they would choose.

                  France may downgraded but pulled this from under our noises:

                  if your thinking is this incoherent in daily life, its nor surprise you flit from contract to contract, staying only till they discover your absolute mediocrity. It's your kid I feel sorry for, being dragged from place to place.

                    QE - a great way for Britain to finance it's own debt. Devalue sterling even more and we'll be on par with the Indian Rupee. Makes getting the hell out even more imperative.

                      Well considering AtW and Lord Haw Haw are cheerleaders for the Euro even while we see the utter stupidity of the idea every day in the news, I tend to discount their ignorant rantings completely
