英国人肠子都悔青了

当年英国财长布朗（Gordon Brown）在黄金的世纪大底255美元卖掉了400吨英国国库黄金。如今，深陷债务与经济双重危机的英国佬，又要买回当年卖掉的黄金了？

真是早知今日，何必当初！

UK Chancellor unhappy about past gold sales

We are also taking the opportunity to rebuild Britain’s reserves, which had fallen to historically low levels. I can confirm our gold holdings have risen in value to ￡11 billion. This does not include the 400 or so tonnes of gold sold a decade ago for ￡2 billion, and which would now be worth six times that at over ￡13 billion pounds.

Here is one more from dailymail.co.uk:

Mr O*****orne's jibe in the House of Commons was greeted raucously from Conservative ministers as embarrassed Labour MPs could only look on.

George O*****orne said at the time: 'Gordon Brown's decision to sell off our gold reserves at the bottom of the market cost the British taxpayer billions of pounds. It was one of the worst economic judgements ever made by a chancellor.
