Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

The decision to sell the gold – taken by Mr Brown when he was Chancellor – is regarded as one of the Treasury's worst financial mistakes and has cost taxpayers almost £7 billion.

Mr Brown and the Treasury have repeatedly refused to disclose information about the gold sale amid allegations that warnings were ignored.

Following a series of freedom of information requests from The Daily Telegraph over the past four years, the Information Commissioner has ordered the Treasury to release some details. The Treasury must publish the information demanded within 35 calendar days – by the end of April.

The sale is expected to be become a major election issue, casting light on Mr Brown's decisions while at the Treasury.

Last night, George Osborne, the shadow chancellor, demanded that the information was published immediately. "Gordon Brown's decision to sell off our gold reserves at the bottom of the market cost the British taxpayer billions of pounds," he said. "It was one of the worst economic judgements ever made by a chancellor.

Cash raised from the sales of the gold was reinvested in foreign currencies.

Gordon must rank as one of the worst Prime Ministers of all time. The only one that might have been worse was Michael Foot, but thankfully he wasn't elected. The Labour manifesto of Michael Foot was called the longest suicide note in history.

It is a great shame that John Smith died too soon. I would have liked hime to remain as leader of the Labour party instead of Blair. The good thing about him was that he was unelectable and we would not have had Blair's government.

His nose must be bigger than that already due the the lies that Labour tell on a daily basis.

I think Freds nose must be even longer. :-))

If it was not so serious I would laugh . This picture is all I remember of our Gordon.

another Labour party member with a big nose, oh its mr Blair.

The above, I bet that put a smile on your face fred or perhaps not. :-))

This is the picture of Gordon that I remember.

Yep aldwickk and Haystack and without any words the next picture sums up the Labour party. Oh just put an S on the end. lol

I can remember plenty of Labour governments and they all leave the country in debt. Their policies are 'tax and spend' and when the public get sick of that they implement their standby policiy 'borrow and spend'. Until Blair, who managed to fool the public for longer than usual, Labour have been in for one term only each time. It only takes the public that long to refresh their memories of why they don't like a Labour government. Now they have the two Jedwards who look like been unelectable unless they manage to hide their real policies.

Agree and whats more not a lot to show for the debt. Mr average is not eating now
or struggling to pay the utility bills.

Yo DC, go easy on Fred, he can't help it! He's Welsh you know :O) Which probably explains it. Respect mate you nailed him. MORRRRE MORRRRE :O)

Just read what you said Chris with one eye shut and one half open, as not sure what you was going to say. :-)) Mind you I did like post 16531 lol. Have a bit of the labour party in your pipe and smoke it Fred.

Aye you beat me to it, how he has the audacity to mention silver after Gordons gold gaff defies belief. Have a good weekend mate.
