2. This is regardless of their own intelligence, abilities, wealth, success or anything else

@llewellynsteven @ExasperatedTory 2. QE went into the financial system so was not availble to consumers to spend therefore inflationary impact was weakened and/or delayed

3. The economy was devastated by the financial crash andQE really helped us avoid a depression, (this is similar to argument 1)

@llewellynsteven @ExasperatedTory I don’t think there is clear view from economists on the impact of QE because it’s not happened before and they are still trying to understand the impact:

The explanations I can see are:
1. QE did stoke inflation, and prevented deflation which would otherwise have happened

@ianjfitch @Startinglifeag1 @sandieshoes @GoodwinMJ @christopherhope To go to war without UN approval was wrong. The claims of WMD were mendacious.

Inside Iraq itself, the war was unquestionably worth it to the Kurds who gained a state within a state and look set to gain still more from oil and gas development on their territory

@hstanley_ @HaydenHewitt @jk_rowling @TwitterSupport I don’t understand what you mean

Some events, like murder or credible threat in the wake of a murder, require us to rise above our day to day concerns

We should not use a murder or credible murder threat to score points in a gender naming disagreement
