Chancellor appoints 4 out of 9 people DIRECTLY - he also picks chairman and the rest won't get peerage/knighthood if they don't play as expected.
It was never independent, it is not independent now and most certainly it will never be independent.

Govt has got complete control over BoE - if it asks to print money to buy gilts that nobody else wants at the rate offered then BoE asks: how much you want?
Yes, it's like this, it's really obvious because "independent" BoE has NEVER made any decisions that went against Govt. Not a single time - compare this with judiciary that is REALLY independent - lots of major decisions against Govt.
BoE is a pet bank for Govt, it barks when told to do so.

Perhaps someone should have told him that we set rates by a panel not the BoE chairmans demands...

Homeowners in thirties and forties warned of mortgage timebomb: New Bank governor says get ready for higher interest rates
Britain's record low interest base rate could be on the way out after more than four years at 0.5 per cent, the new governor of the Bank of England warned yesterday.
The introduction of a higher rate would be a blow to homeowners and firms used to cheap borrowing.
Canadian Mark Carney, who takes over from Sir Mervyn King on Monday, told ITV News a rise was on the cards, adding: ‘Without doubt they need to manage their business for the possibility of a slight or material change in the level of interest rates.’
Households that are heavily in debt could struggle with increased mortgage repayments and other loans if the Bank puts rates up, although savers would be delighted.
Sir Mervyn, who retires after ten years as governor, told MPs on the Treasury Select Committee: ‘It is clearly the case that with the prospect at some point down the road of higher interest rates it is not sensible to be in a highly indebted position.’
