Joanne Segars, the chief executive of the National Association of Pension Funds, said while she could understand the need to boost the economy, QE was damaging the value of pensions: "Retirees who get locked into a weak annuity will find that the Bank's money printing leaves them out of pocket for the rest of their lives.
"For the companies that run final salary pensions, QE is a headache which pushes their pension funds further into the red. This means businesses have to put more money into their pension schemes, instead of spending it on jobs and investment. Our fear is that firms struggling with a weak economy will simply choose to close their pension schemes."

I got a random text from my stockbroker telling me about this announcement.
The country hasn't descended into hyperinflation so far, why will the newest round of QE change that?

Its a bit like trying to put out a fire by pouring petrol on it.

So the BofE has only "done" QE to the tune of £325 billion?
That's a lot less than Super Mario has recently done at the ECB, with his "back door"* QE.

So what are you cretins moaning at?
*Typical of continentals that they do QE through the tradesmens entrance.

Seems Merv will do ANYTHING to avoid deflation. And has underestimated inflation for years. Anyone can do that - its a muppet's job. This is storing up alot of trouble for the future.
