Where we could have bucked the trend, was to have thrown out Gordon Brown before he sold off all our Gold reserves on the cheap, for a short term fix, we cant possibly recover from that, because the value of the pound sinks each time we borrow, as now we borrow more to achieve, less this Monopoly money will soon become IOUs and should have printed on it, I promise to pay the bearer what I can, when I can, the sum of whatever I can afford at the time, as for coinage will be like the old silver coins worth more as scrap, for the silver content, than the face value by 200% thank you Gordon Brown. And Labour.
