Britains Gold (That Was)

If Brown had sold our gold today, it would have given us an extra £10 billion, as he sold it at rock bottom prices.

When he did it, you just know he knew nothing about basic world economics. Its not for selling, its to tell the world that your currency is backed up with this precious commodity, that could ( not would) be sold if times are very difficult.

Just because he has a economics degree does not mean he understands the subject, as we can see he does not.
