After 13 years of Labour, the Tories have taken control.

I'm not sure it's a good move and only time will tell. :?:

The Tories have a huge hole to dig us out of. Let's hope they've got a JCB :roll: :shock:

Gordon Brown decided to sell more than half of Britain’s gold reserves at the lowest prices for 20 years and he carried on selling when the prices were going down. If he had kept hold of the reserves, Britain would be £7 billion better off. Oops.

12:03 - Gold was shining brightly on Tuesday, trading less than 1% short of a new all-time high.
The precious metal was priced at $1,216 an ounce, not far from the $1,226 record set in December last year.

Gold was once again seen as a safe haven amid fears that that the $1 trillion loan package to help heavily-indebted European countries may not be far reaching enough.

Bullion has notched up 10% so far this year on fears that Greece's debt crisis might spread to its European neighbours.

Oh, and I forgot to mention the secret Government report in 2000 that called for mass immigration to change Britain’s cultural make-up forever http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... al-UK.html

I cannot forgive the Labour Government for this.

Allegedly so that the Tories could never gain power again.
