    I wish it would just all fall through the floor rather than this protracted slow motion of a show.
    Current doom has very little to do with UK shares - it's all EU/US debt/growth/double dip panic.

    the £ seems to be holding up quite well considering - I think international markets are looking at the coalition cuts and saying "WHS"

    B0llox.

    I remember that day when he announced it - at the time he loaded up debt via PFI but still wanted to look "prudent", yet he needed money to "invest" into public services, so he sold the gold to get extra cash without raising taxes or breaking his "golden rule".

    In a way he locked himself into it by (thanks to Bliar) refusing to use direct taxation to finance spending, something had to be sold and they were hardly into privitisation.

    It's been a pretty good day for gold, but no shiny new record today.

    He should be jailed for that IMHO.

    Can't think why he is so cagey about spilling the beans, especially if it would exonerate him to some extent.
