1. I am horrorfied how can you do that to a perfectly good cup of TEA
   its BOSTON all over again
2. The British Lady must be paid by the bankers real well to spread her lies and misinformation. Who owns the private Bank of England and the private Federal Reserve (as Federal as Federal Express)? Oh, you can't tell us darling. Well you don't need to. We know who owns it. Your paper (now plastic currency) with fancy numbers and colors printed on them do not impress me. I will continue to hoard gold and silver in Switzerland and laugh when your economies implode on you. AHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH! At 00:46 was she trying to pronounce the word '''tacky'' or ''tatty''? Speak clearly Brit. I understand why we fought a war of independence to free ourselves from your annoying and snobby accents.
3. Crude oil must be used in the manufacture of plastic. So obviously printing all of this new money will consume more oil. Will this affect gas/petrol prices?
4. Fing friek, why do Americans always get mixed with British stereo-types e.g. tea, speaks wierd, messed up teeth, fish and chips and Britain in general. 
   
   In return, most Americans are stuck up, have a "hillbilly" like accent etc... How do you feel I said that? It is not nice is it!
5. It might as well grow on trees the rate the printing presses are running at and how come only the central bank can counter fit money?? Hopefully by 2016 this fiat currency system with the fake debt it brings will come to an end!
