    Does this mean that those people (including myself) predicting the return of inflation as the result of quantitative easing were wrong?

    Or does it mean that the "independent" Bank of England is allowed to put inflation concerns aside in favour of growth considerations?

    How stupid are you? Can you actually read? I don't mean "do you recognise words?" I "read" as is look at words and understand them and gain some level of comprehension or meaning from them....

    I know its part of their course..... I know why they do it....

    If you are to stupid or too far up yourself to admit it then thats your problem..... but don't call me stupid or retarded because you aren't being honest...... Many of the biggest and most successful companies in the world employ students/interns etc its not as if you have invented the wheel you know!!
