The truth about the BOE is a tough area to research and I want to do more
However, how it looks to me at the moment is that the physical structure of the bank was nationalised in 1946, but the control of the money supply remained in the hands of the private bankers making up the board... so a faux nationalisation, and since 1997 the bank's power has been unfettered so it might as well be private, for all it cares what the public has to say! _________________ Free your Self and Free the World |

Except when the governor called for a break up of the big banks, the government dismissed those arguments as it does with its own scientists where it conflicts with covert political agendas. _________________ Truth Movement Clips: www.truthtotell.co.uk |

The BoE was nationalised in 1946. The government, apparently, could not afford to buy out the shareholders. What they did was to hand the shares to the Treasury Solicitor, who held them in trust. Shareholders, therefore, could not vote. THe BoE Museum says the change didn't affect what it did much. |
