Will The Uk See Deflation, Stagnation, Inflation Or Hyperinflation?

I am actually uncertain where we are going to go from here. We have low interest rates around 0.5% on ISA'a (with no introductory offers included). Bank of England rates remain at an historic low of 0.5%.

For me this replicates what happened/is happening in Japan. Is that any good as a thought process for what is to come?

Just had deflation

now a little stagnated as we recover from the banking/credit crisis

heading towards a little inflation as economies get under way again

will never see hyperinflation: the EU/single currency has sorted that out and really, hyperinflation has to be created, politically. (Read up on Weimar Republic hyperinflation crisis post WW I.)

Predicting the economic future has always been tricky and is certainly not a science because the "human factor" is more than 50 pct.
