    How do you propose getting all that excess money chasing too few goods back once you've generated too much inflation?

    The thing with traditional QE is it can be unwound at any time. People's QE - not possible.

    a pound is pound is a pound

    the pounds created by printing money to build a house are no different from a pound printed for any other reason.

    the money supply can be reduced by the usual BoE mechanisms when required.

    the argument that excessive money supply causes inflation is no more or less true for money used building or other purposes
    obviously if inflation starts to take off then the BoE will (or should) respond.
  • I am a professional internet marketer. Some tips for about marketing

    One is to find a good broker. A market maker that’s regulated inat least one major country can ensure the money you send is safe, and that youhave a jurisdiction to appeal in the event of bankruptcy. Larger market makershave more resources to assure stable trading platforms and servers, and enoughemployees to place your trade every time.

    Two, check your broker’s stats. The Commodity Future TradingCommission’s website provides access to the latest financial statements for allregister futures commission merchants.

    Three, after finding a broker, test-drive its software by openinga demo account. Learn how to use the trading platform, and if it doesn’t suityou, find one that does.

    We'll see but London is naturally Labour and Khan is a good candidate with a 'good story' about his background. Whereas Zac is a privileged toff, born with the Goldsmith millions to grease his way into politics. That's what we tell people on the doorstep;)

    Well if London's so naturally Labour why did people vote for Boris?

    Khan is a gutless machine politician. Whereas, Zac is his own person - just like Boris.

    Well if that's true, why doesn't the EU allow it? Or the USA?

    And rather like Ken before that. In fact, London hasn't voted for a Labour mayor yet in its modern incarnation.

    I don't understand the question.

    as far as I know neither the EU nor US stops their central banks from selling bonds and so reducing the money supply

    what regulation are you referring to?

    People's QE would be illegal in Europe (that is illegal under EU law, because it risks runaway inflation, debauching the currency, and crashing the economy.)
    The only way the UK could do People's QE is if we leave the EU.

    Buying the instruments directly from the state is illegal under Article 123 of the Lisbon Treaty. Article 123 forbids central banks from printing money to finance government spending.
