Gordon Brown GOLD Sale Could Cost Labour the Election / ElectionOracle / UK General Election
By: Shaily
The decision to sell Gold in 1999/2000 at rock bottom prices, was probably one of the worst mistakes by a supposedly sophisticated treasury, the Treasury team of UK.

By: Nadeem_Walayat
The Race is on, How Far Can Labour Boost the UK Economy Before it Goes Bust?
On Wednesday Alistair Darling had hoped he could implement the next phase of Britain's debt fuelled economic recovery in advance of the May 2010 General Election.
