Who owns the bank of england?

he Bank of England was set up by, ironically, a Scotsman – William Paterson. It was initially a private bank in 1694 acting as lender to the Government.

The Bank was given a Royal Charter, and in 1844, the Bank Charter Act gave the Bank of England sole right to issue notes and coins.

The Bank of England was nationalised in 1946. (Nationalisation means government takes ownership)

In 1997, the Bank of England was given independence over Monetary Policy

The Bank of England was nathionised in 1946 but regained it's independance in 1997, The ultimate owners are probably the Rothchilds banking family, they are acting in the best interests of the British public in the way a farmer would look after his milk herd fed and cared for just to milk them.
Just like the fed in the U S national debt is the way to make profit and wars and conflicts are the tools used, so every time Alister Darling needs to borrow money, the B of E prints some for the cost of the paper yet we have to pay back the real cost plus interest.
Don't forget Tony's just got a job with one of the Rothchilds companies, just like John Major (carlye group) before him, he kept the bombs and bullets flying who cares about a few dead useless eaters, obviously not our politicians.
