Get the Tories Out!

Selling off our gold reserves

Wasn't that the inept Brown? Worst PM ever. He got handed the job on a plate, yet managed to fukk it up, along with the whole UK.

Forgive me, I thought Brown was a Blairite .

Sorry to disagree, but it was a lot more recently than that, three times over.

If you are talking about Cameron, May and Johnson, they are not conservatives. If you think they are, explain what they conserved as opposed to what they gave away.

Nope. Last Conservative leader was 1990.

Mrs. T let go of all our industries, hardly a conservative act.

Britain could never be run in a conservative way after the creation of the Welfare State and the NHS - how can it when these institutions were created to give unlimited amounts of money away for an unlimited time.

Like May and Truss ? And possibly Sunak, we don't know yet

Your point being ?

He was certainly a gobshiite

political tribalism.




Global financial crisis caused it and you seem to be blaming Brown

Using your logic the Tories f****d the economy in 2020 and it was Johnsons fault.

Andy would you prefer people to be begging on the streets like in India?

Anyone still blaming Labour for 'causing the 2008 Crash' should watch The Big Short - "It's fuelled by stupidity..."
Brad Pitt does a very good impression of Robert Redford and Steve Carell is good in his least irritating role.
Good movie.
True Story.

You are trolling. This is simply more lies...

Selling some gold, let alone all gold when the price is at an all time low is a bad decision. The consequences of which mean that you have less money to spend on the things you need. Consider that in context of the PFI fiasco.

But let's not dwell on the negative. Cite a few good things the inept Brown was responsible for.

Selling some gold, let alone all gold when the price is at an all time low is a bad decision.

You can always check the sincerity of people who say such things by asking them how much gold they bought in about 2000

Me? None.

How about you?

Another, longer, set of questions for the armchair investor:

You put a lot of money into buying something many years ago.

In the last 20 years, it has produced no income, and its value has not kept pace with inflation.

The consequences of which mean that you have less money to spend on the things you need.

The asset is of no practical use

In fact, the price has dropped from over £300 per unit to less than £200 per unit. The price appears to be in terminal decline.

And you have spent enormous amounts of money storing it.

1) Are you crazy?

2) Do you have no other pressing needs for money that you could use it for?

3) WTF haven't you sold it already?

How about you?

You can always check the understanding of such people by asking what was their whole investment portfolio spread including risk strategy in 2000.

Me, I bought a pair of gold-plated earrings for Mrs W, and a gold Sharpie for writing birthday cards. All my other investments were in Bosch and Stanley.

How about you?

What, no green? Or didn't they have Ryobi back then?

You never know, your gold plate might have transmuted to green by now
