Crack that down into human language:

    A liquidity trap is a situation where the monetary policy of the central bank is unable to increase GDP because more money will not result in lower interest rates, as they are already near zero.

"A situation where the monetary policy of the central bank" = Britain

"Is unable to increase GDP" = can't spend money

"because more money will not result in lower interest rates, as they are already near zero" = non sequitur
