[i]p!ssing the 3G licence money up the wall[/i]

The £22.5bn raised actually went straight to pay off the National Debt.

Carry on.

Aye I've seen that trick before, pay off the credit card then hammer it again the next month.

No more 3G licences to sell off now though, and no gold stashed away for a rainy day and my god, its belting it down now and oh my, look how the price of gold has climbed.

nulabour have just followed on with the same old torry policies

if you disagree with how gordon has run things, especially the financial side then voting torry would the worst thing you could do

Now don't take this for a moment as a defence of Brown's botched Gold sell off, but gold's only of worth if you're selling it, and now would be a good time to sell some as it's worth loads. But it's worth loads because people currently don't trust something as intagible as money and prefer to place there faith in gold. Of course as soon as people trust money again then they sell the gold and it drops in price and having gold seems daft. I think i'm loosing the thread of what i'm trying to say, but it's something along the lines of it's rarely a good time to either buy sell or own gold, but sometimes it feels like it is. Or something like that anyway 🙂
Anyway the 2bn squandered on that cock-up barely covers the cost of banker's packed lunch 🙂

One good time to buy gold is when the price is depressed because somebody has announced they're selling a load of it.

Well they might have tried to, but they've made rather a mess of it. I don't think it has generally been a Tory policy to spend, spend, spend and run up a huge PSBR during a boom either.

We have all realised where your politics lie perhaps you and Flash could just e-mail each other and moan?

Junkyard - You've worked out who I vote for based on a few garnered snippets on an internet forum? My you must be one of the great sleuths.

Actually, whilst I see eye-to-eye with CFH on a few points they are very few. I'd suggest we have differing views over more than we agree on.

Ah I see what has confused you though. I'm sure in your little mind any criticism of the current version of the Labour party must mean I'm some love-child of Thatcher and in no way could I actually have more socialist leanings than the good Captain.

Isn't it easy, this black and white politics thing?

Oh and BTW, do the 'we' mind you speaking for them or is it the royal we you refer to?

'Sorry, you've lost me. Do the Tories have policies ?'

Yes they do, their own insurance policies.
