UK to leave EU

[TubbyTubby]

My knowledge of economics is a bit lacking to say the least but could someone explain how the bank of England can suddenly make £250 billion available to the banks to avert market crisis?

I understand a bit about quantitive easing but is this a different sort of money that can't be made available to other national services that could desperately use it?

I realise that monetary value floats all over the place but how can banks get an injection when the NHS doesn't? Why is the finance sector special?

I think I heard something about the taxpayer.

Drama tax now.

Ooh heck, don't like the sound of that. I pay enough as it is and £250B split between us would be a bit of a kick in the nuts.

Interestingly, not heard anything from Georgie O today.
