#AskBoE: Ask The Bank Of England Anything
In the footsteps of the smashing success that was the #AskJPM and #MyNYPD social outreach by the two beloved institutions, yet another renowned entity has decided to take its comedic genius to the people: none other than the place where it all started - the Bank of England. So if you have a question for Mark Carney's money printing and housing bubble-forming institution, do no hesitate to tweet it: just remember to add the #AskBoE hash tag.

Why?
Here's one of their spokesmen (person!) from the UK in action :-)

If they couldn't predict this stunt blowing up in their face, how can they be expected to predict the economy?
At least they aren't as shameless as in Australia, where a central bank board member doubles as director for a hedge fund fraud scheme. Check out my updated blog on Australian financial crime:

How much gold do you currently hold in physical form, as opposed to what you tell the chumps who were dumb enough to let you hold theirs?
I don't use Facefuck or Twatter so maybe someone who does can ask this for me.
A question for Mark Carney:
What specifically is 'escape velocity' and how will you achieve it by creating more medium of exchange?
I'm not on twitter, so could someone plese tweet for me:
BofE - but we weren't on the gold standard in the 1930's, were we? We were on the Gold EXCHANGE Standard. You don't even know that???
You got it all wrong. The responses determine the amount of security they budget for next year !!!
Going to end like NYPD Twitter:

BOE: You've been accused of being 'Satan's Spawn'. Your response?
In Kelvin, How fucking hot do you believe hell will be?
Wheres flight 370?
Last I heard.....Pakistan via Diego Garcia.
I hope that doesn't qualify me for Directive 3025.18....it's not a really well kept secret. It's not like I outed the CIA chief for Afghanistan.
Maybe he was already compromised and outing him seemed like an easy way to get rid of him.
I heard he was late on his "contribution" to CREEP.
( Commitee to RE-Elect the President)
Then there was that puzzling 17 minutes of silence on the latest Obama Secret Tapes. ...
Somebody get Kissinger in here Stat....
More importantly, why wasn't he and the other Board members on it?
#AskBoE What will be the price of gold on June 30, 2014?
I thought it was the Fed that decided that? Via their proxies of course.
No, Barclays (Fed apparently being well endowed with tungsten, or so I read).
Does the Queen enjoy her fresh baby brains scrambled or poached?
We don't really know, but what ever it is, you better give it to her or prepare yourself to live in real hell, cause you aint seen nothin yet.
Come on, those are for her corgi's.
She only eats the hearts , stuffed with caviar.
Russian caviar at that - yes the band stuff
Peasant.
Iranian caviar is the best ,and even more banned.
You big ass.
We Corgi's do not eat scrambled brains....
HRH gives us French cake - you get .........crumbs and crumbs of crumby debt....
WOOF!
I thought the new wonder treatment involves injections of young blood?
Save that one for #askhenrykissinger.
Mark, what is it like to be a human hemorrhoid? #AskBoE
What have you got against hemorrhoids?
Drugs and Hookers For GDP!!!
Q. How many hookers and blow will it take to raise the GDP by 1 percentage point?
Q (part two) Can we institute a government program to incentivize spending on hookers and blow through tax deductions and direct payments to low income citizen who can't spend their fair share?
Dear BoE, you got that money you owe me?
Does Mervyn King cross dress, or what? #askBoE
Are they willing to release a full ledger showing what gold they own and what gold they are holding on behalf of each other nation as well as conducting a full and independent audit?
The Queen has ordered you off to Tyburn.
I am currently living in one of her penal colonies which is by far a better place than the one she is living in.
You sure?
She kinda still owns lots of lands in penal colonies... loads of land and just "maintains' a residence for the masses dog and pony show. Whatever!! My penal colony got a grand fabulous media frenzied royal inspection...erm, I mean, visit.... recently, did yours?
WOOF!
Where's Inthemix99?
I think they could relate to his dynamic homespun style.
He can spin the word cunt into such a deep and complex tapestry of rage that I am never less than completely impressed and awestruck at his posts. +1000 for inthemix.
Why don't you make like a tree and get the fuck off this planet?
# if the masses awaken to your theft, would you prefer to have your head on a pike or placed in a basket#
Better still they can kick it all the way like they did with Cromwell's head.
Actually the king ordered that Cromewell's body be disinterred and his body was hung after which his head was placed on a spike.
They have in my mind set the precedent for awaits them as well.
just tweeted that to @bankofengland just in case you hadn't
How young , is too young ?
When you suck Satan's dick, does it taste like Obama's ass? #askBoE
10, 9, 8, 7.....is the NSA, FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, at your door yet?
Is that synonymous with Yellen's dick?
Is this really how they manage inflation ? From their own web site:
www.bankofengland.co.uk/education/Pages/inflation/balloon/balloon.aspx
Shooting or hanging?
On what planet is throwing cash at mortgages, causing another housing bubble and more concreting over of Englands (formerly) green and pleasant land, a good idea?
If you are on a path that leads straight to hell when do you get there?
Not soon enough.
If you could legally rape any baby in exchange for an extra million Pounds in bonus, what would you do? #askBoE
#AskBofE - Can you go to hell?
Their job is to put us there.
Why is London home to all the financial parasites of this world? #AskBoE
Whenever financial swindlers prosper at the expense of investors or bank jiggers interest rates to bugger their competitors or tax evaders flee fiscal crises or rent gouging petrol monarchies recycle profits or oligarchs pillage economies and drive millions to drink, drugs and destitution they find a suitable secure sanctuary in London.
They are wooed and pursued by big British realtors eager to sell them multi-million dollar estates, trophy properties and landmark mansions. Pompous and pretentious British academics convince them to send their progeny to six digit private schools, promising them that when they graduate they will be speaking English through their nasal cavities, rolling their r’s and mastering the art of eloquent but vacuous elocution. British governments, Labor Liberal and Conservative, in the best and most hypocritical legal traditions, fashion the legal loopholes to attract the biggest and wealthiest parasites of the world.
http://www.boilingfrogspost.com/2012/10/16/london-parasites-paradise-or-...
pompous gits like Cecil Rhodes who set a template for others in various "Colonies" to attract the biggest and wealthiest parasites of the world...
Is it right that an organisation that effectively controls the level of inflation via interest rates is allowed to invest in index linked pensions for its staff?
do you fear zombies? #askboe
Who is the one down voting everyone? Is that you, Mark?
Is gold money ?
When do ya'll start jumping out of the windows ?
Who are the Shareholders of the BOE and what are their shares?
According to "The World Order - Our Secret Rulers." by Eustace Mullins these are some of the original shareholders: page 29, "Early descriptions of the shareholders of the Bank of England identify them as a society of about 1300 persons. They included the King and Queen of England, who received shares to the value of 10'000 pounds each, the Duke of Marlborough, who invested 10'000 pounds, Lord Shrewsbury invested 10'000 pounds and the Earl of Godolphin invested 7'000 pounds." pages 30-31, Others mentioned by Eustace Mullins in his book: William Bentick, the Duke of Devonshire (William Cavendish), the Earl of Pembroke (Thomas Herbert), Salomon de Medina, Sir Gilbert Heathcote, Sir Charles Montague, John Sheffield (Marquess Normandy), Thomas Howard (Earl of Arundel). On page 31: "In his 'The Bank of England, A History', Sir John Clapham notes that by 1721, a number of Spanish and Portuguese Jews had been buying stock in the Bank of England - Medina, two Da Costas, Fonseca, Henriquez, Nunes, Rodriguez, Salvador Teixeira de Mattos, Jacob and Theodore Jacobs, Moses and jacob Abrabanel, Francis Pereira. Clapham notes that since 1751 there had been very little trading in Bank of England stock; it has been very closely held for more than two centuries." I hope this helps.
Of course they know this will blow up in their faces. What they are trying to ascertain is the pulse of the informed people.
People should stay quiet and not provide any information...let crickets chirp on that hashtag.
Information asymmetry is a powerful weapon.

?
By the downvote it seems Lord Evelyn didn't like my asking.
We Corgi's found it amusing. Tks
Love the address: Old Jewry..
Old Jewry was a Jewish ghetto from the 12th to the 13th century.
LOL love this one!
Mediocritas @MediocritasI want to buy a 2x1 in London, closer to work (to boost productivity). Should I go for fixed or variable on the 200 year mortgage? #AskBoE
Cheers. More to come.
Reminds me of the Bad Idea Jeans advertisement SNL skit from the late 80s.
I love it. LOVE it.
AskBOE
Will you surrender peacefully, or will you need to be forced out?
My fave from the #askjpm debacle: Of all the nefarious activity in which you engage, which is your favorite?
If I didn't have a personal ban on twatter, I could have some fun with this.
Dittos...heh kinda sounds like something you would hear asked on one of those phone party lines.
Question 1: Do any of your members have members ?
I'm surprised there's so little communication between JPM's marketing group and the BOE's. And also that the BOE's obviously heard of twitter, but apparently nobody' there's ever used it before. Oh well, probably brisk demand in the private sector for a former BOE marketing executive.
#AskBoE, what's it like to be the @federalreserve's bitch?
AskBOE
Please stop charging me money for not having enough money.
Yours Sincerely, I'm already broke without your help.
Do you wax nostalgic for the days when the masses were oblivious to your true activities, and do you think you can get away with it this time when the global central banks bring down the world economy?
WilliamBanzai7 was just waiting for something like this again. He's got lots of ammo via his art work. I suspect visits to his account will rocket once again. ;)
Some very good advice there for Mr Carney, it's certainly a lot better than the rubbish he's been getting from his own people.
Question for Mark Carney
Mark, do you still have the Austrian Gold with you?
Or do you have to invade some country to get Gold and return it to the Austrians.
Be " Man up" and tell the truth.
#AskBoE
If I steal someone's purchasing power via the letterbox, I'm a thief. If I do it via the ballot box, I'm a hero. If I do it via the printing press, I'm the saviour of the world.
Do you think the average guy is a charlatan or intellectually comatose?
BTW if you allow follow-ups, any idea why us Brits couldn't find someone dodgy enough to be Governor? Do you really think we have that kind of shortage?
Cheers Mark!
Q for MC
ru gay? ("janet" is looking for a date)
Please bombard them with questions. They asked for it after all.
do you answer to the pope or vice verse?
#AskBoEI once wrote to the BoE -- this was years and years ago -- and asked them:
(1) What is money?
and
(2) Where does money come from?
To their credit (if that's the word I want), they did reply. But they didn't answer me; they gave me a few other people's views. Galbraith's was one, I remember.
I had hoped that, since its founding in 1694, the Bank would have developed its own view on what money was.
