I think I read somewhere that they are using quantitative easing...in other words, printing money. They have borrowed up to the hilt. I'm sure that other governments have done the same, in order to survive. The interesting thing is that since 1931, Sterling has been a Fiat currency. I read once, sorry I don't have a link, that Fiat currencies are unstable and ultimately will fail. I was very interested in this subject a few years ago...I wish I had kept links to the research that I did. Bitcoin is another currency that intrigues me...I just cannot see how it has any value! Must dash.....I need to print a few ££££'s!
