    More QE needed

    BBC News - UK inflation rate falls to 1.2%

    UK Consumer Price Index inflation fell to 1.2% in September from 1.5%, official figures show.

    Never mind if it only makes a few bankers rich. I am sure the trickle down effect will reach the poverty stricken. Eventually.

    Why not build some infrastructure instead and put money into the economy?

    We're selling our infrastructure, not building more ....

    And given that the markets are tilting downwards in a 2008-esque style, then QE would be the button to press very hard. Unless of course those shots have already been fired. Then you need a plan B.

      The Yank economy seems to be almost back at full steam, with their oil price down to 2008 levels.

      But the UK's oil price is 15% higher than in 2008, and we're chained at the waist to a bunch of loser socialist countries in the EU who have jumped overboard and are struggling in the water in imminent danger of drowning and dragging us down with them

      The EU referendum can't come quickly enough!

        It'll probably be as much a damp squib as the Scottish one. I predict Scots will tip it to a pro-EU result and everyone else will be very cross that they voted to remain in the UK only to spoil it for the rest of us.

            If you don't care about inflation, and you're printing money anyway, then why not print tax money? Why not print NHS wages? Why not print x?

              I guess investors are jittery about the sluggish EU and the trouble in the Middle East.

              But the fundamentals look reasonable, according to these guys

                  I think the stock market looks ahead 18 months. Or maybe there is a lack of QE?
