British Politics

Like Norman Lamont who was the Chancellor who oversaw Black Wednesday and saw £billions wiped off the value of the Pound. When asked about home owners facing eviction on massively inflated high interest mortgages he turned round and said it wasn't his fault that people decided to buy houses yet that was his party's policy as demonstrated by the selling off of Council homes in the years prior to the crash. Another c.unt.

 

Gordon Brown sold off all our Sterling silver reserves to his Globalist overlords for a fraction of their worth too .

 

Gold as well

 

True but he also never gets the credit for dealing with the global financial crash although Iceland still hate him for freezing their assets, no pun intended.

 

Which means our currency is no longer backed up by anything.

 

There are more questions than answers
Pictures in my mind that will not show
There are more questions than answers
And the more I find out the less I know
Yeah, the more I find out the less I know

 

I might be mistaken but I thought he punted gold at its lowest level for about 10 years...

the chancellor !

7 billion loss !

 

He didn't deal with the global crash. He financed it.

Ironically Iceland are one of the few who did deal with it correctly.

 

He used terrorism laws to freeze assets iirc. Saved UK banks from tanking, not sure how that financed the global crash though. Deets?

 

And they say Scottish people are tight

 

No tight with other folks cash ...

 

It's funny how obsessed people are about that

OMG IT WAS GOLD!!!!

7bn is how much was lost if sold later, if you read the wikipedia page it explains the logic behind it.

Brexit has cost the UK about £200bn so far. Doubt the low-IQ care about that.

 

Some low IQ mugs on here are so partisan that they can't accept any criticism of Government incompetence by those on their side of the political spectrum.

OMG , is everyone like still banging on about Brown selling all our gold reserves for a pittance and Tony entering into an illegal war resulting in the total destabilisation of the Middle East, and millions of lives needlessly lost ?

Derp

 

I read all about it ...I knew all about it

it’s a ****up.

RBS was another doozey bailed out by the tax payers by Brown then sold off to city boy spivs by Osborne I believe the little maggot with regular people not allowed to buy the shares .

All planned between both parties at our considerable expense

 

RBS should never have been bailed out ...

They took massive gambles even going against due diligence reports ...

the ABN Amro deal was a **** show and should never have been pursued

 

Never claimed it wasn't a ****up. It's just funny how the low-IQ think it's a massive deal, it's only because 'gold' is something that sounds important.

New Labour were just Tory-light, they did loads of good stuff but also ****ed up loads too. At least they fixed the country up and brought in positive measures/policies to help people. The Tories just give cash to their mates.

Strange that the wars in Libya and Syria are never mentioned. Just Iraq. The Libyan war was a much much bigger ****up, never heard a single mong on here ever mention it.

 

You calling me low IQ?

I think it was a **** up ... selling at a massively low value .

all the wars we’ve been involved in are **** ups ...

 

Lybia was a **** up but we only did a few air strikes , we shouldn't have got involved in any Middle East conflicts.

Trump is the only president for decades to not invade other countries and pulling troops out of the mess Bush and Barry Obama created.

Hilary royally ****ed up in Benghazi too the evil whole.

All Globalist puppets profiteering from War.

 

No

But it was a gamble that didn't pay off.
