Anyway, when a country is in massive debt tax increases have to occur, its the same for every economy.
Most other hot food is already taxed, but yeah I can see why this could be seen as a bit silly, but its also understandable.

Let's not forget when Labour came to power in '97' the fabric of the country had been neglected by the Tories for years. NHS patients left on hospital trolleys, schools with over 40 to a class and leaky roofs. I can remember pictures of the police using dustbin lids as riot shields. All happened under the Tories.
The wheels came off the economy when the banks had to be bailed out, and I mean, had to. Had the chancellor, Alister Darling, not pumped in billions, when people put their card in a cash machine, nothing would have come out. The q's' we saw outside Northern Rock would have been repeated outside every bank in the country. There would have been panic on the streets. Darling deserves credit for acting as swiftly as he did.
The gold sale thing, well who knows when the right time to sell is, it's all easy with you know what. Brown took the view that public services were more important than assets just lying there.

Speaking for myself I'd prefer to handle a Prince Charles than a Prince Albert any day.
