Gold

[Mich the Tester]

No, not Spandau Ballet! At least they have some and love this bit:

They stole it in the first place so we might as well exercise our superior military might and help ourselves to it.

I'm certainly not a fan of Spandau Ballet either but isn't it a bit over the top and rather expensive to unleash the full might of Her Majesty's Armed Forces on them? They haven't brought out any new songs as far as I know so I think it's better to let sleeping dogs lie.

OK with keeping the nuclear option in case they decide to release a new album.

Britain 2 germany 0. hardly tongue in cheek, plus a stack of military experience since.
Have you taken over from Joseph Goebbels by any chance?

Ah, one of Maggie's influencers. Have you got one of these?

That may be so but free markets and capitalism are the only way to give people freedom to live and the ability to create wealth.

Totally agree. But what we've seen are the first signs of a creeping Corporatocracy.

It was free market in action with banks doing what they wanted without any regard for the future - complete failure of regulation.

There's nothing free market about the government molesting the money supply and setting the interest rates.

And as usual free-market capitalism gets the blame.

Gordon Brown actively tried to destroy this country. And in the process he gave the left the idiotic idea that the past 10+ years were sustainable and slackers who don't feel like contributing don't have to.

Because then you'd only need to print £36 billion. Do keep up old chap.

You'd sell your gold first and then print money????

Might as well print all 50 bln and keep gold that will go up in price.

[darmstadt]

With our superior military might we can just go and help ourselves to their gold anyway

Ah,

Why bother when you can just print £50 bln?

Germany has around eight times more gold than the UK, after Gordon Brown sold more than half of the UK's reserves between 1999 and 2002 when prices were at a 20-year low.
Analysts say gold could still hit $2000/oz this year, meaning the UK could have sold its gold for £16billion, as opposed to £2billion.
