On a serious note: If a business is failing and making no profit, no dividends can be issued to shareholders. And in serious cases, when a business is going under, they will be able to sack with no redundancy pay so therefore the employee would be in a worse off position. This is literally the dumbest shit to come out of his mouth...

Wouldn't building 5 new hospitals only add to the problem, or are they going to be empty

When Brown decided to dispose of almost 400 tonnes of gold between 1999 and 2002, the sale of the majority of Britain’s gold reserves for prices between $256 and $296 an ounce

$1,615 per ounce today.

400 tonnes = 14109584.78


then = ($296) $4,176,437,095


now = (1615) $22,786,979,419

Whilst this is true, who'd buy it now after the global financial crisis? When countries are commited to austerity, there's very little chance they'll invest in gold rather than their economies.

If he could've seen that back then, do you not think he would've stopped the global economic crisis before it happened?

a lot of that money went to paying off the yanks for the last war
although I will say again I will never forgive Brown for not nationalising the banks when he had the chance

that doesn't really come in to the matter, if a business goes under there's unlikly to be money for redundancy payments.

on the other hand if you where offered £1k worth of shares each year wouldnt you sacrifice redundancy pay if your weekly pay was significantly less than that, say on £30k? (you'd only get ~£430 per years service).

i still think its a daft idea, because it will be advantagous to the clever employee while leaving the less economically astute vulnerable. government really should be about looking out for people the other way round.

No he bloody wouldn't've. He made sure this country was well and truly up the creek. Regardless of what was going on with the markets around the world.
