Why Britain is still paying the price for Gordon Brown's gold bullion blunder
Submitted by admin on Tue, 2024-03-05 16:58 Section: Daily DispatchesNothing that seemed as stupid and sure to be as loss-making as the Bank of England's gold sales that began in 1999 would have been undertaken unless it accomplished an important objective that couldn't be admitted without causing financial turmoil and scandal.
