I don't suppose he bought any of it did he?
Brown sold our gold to raise money to fund his massive spending without having it hit people where they'd immediately feel it and quite possibly react by voting for the other side. Gain with no pain! Buy now, enjoy the political kudos, pay later as usual. My real worry is that Brown and his ilk have done such severe damage to UK PLC this time around that we might just not be able to get out of it. Time will tell.
