    Deflation news

    Fuel cost increase: Energy prices could soar by 60% by 2021 | Mail Online

    But don't worry, inflation is only 5%.

    And it might come lower still with more printing on the way:

    Thats fine, the value of Sterling will have decreased by 600% by then, so energy will be comparatively cheap

      Yeah, printing our way out of debt is a sure fire solution to all our problems.

          I see gold priced in £ looking nice thanks to Merv.

          More QE means even more inflation. They'll deny it of course. If they devalue the money slowly enough it's like boiling a frog. 20 years of a slow slide into poverty for most UK citizens.

          More QE will also prop up house prices as people realise their savings are worth pish, another govt/BoE objective.
