Or just refused to hand it over to the leader this country does not recognise? The decision was made by the High Court after they were asked for a ruling from The BoE. What’s that got to do with the Conservative government? Edited September 9, 2020 by Arnold_Lane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It doesn't matter whether we recognise their democratically elected leader or not, the majority of the world does incidentally, it was not our gold to distribute to whomever we liked..

It did to the BoE - that's why they sought a ruling. My understanding is that we haven't distributed the gold to anyone. It's still with the BoE. Correct me if I'm wrong. Are you sure the majority of the world recognises Maduro?

I used to be proud of our Government and the way we, generally, ran things despite the massive tolerance of disobendiance, on a point of principle, by a large number of the population. Now we have joined the selfish countries. The USA, Brazil, Russia, China, Belarus whose balance between money and public safety is massively at odds with ours mine. I am ashamed of our new priorities. ..........and then comes the reneging on parts of last year’s Brexit withdrawal agreement, which by the government’s own admission involve breaches of an international agreement. The Conservatives would not have got their General Election without the Withdrawl Agreement. Remember the long, drawnout, rigmarole the opposition went through because they did not trust them - they were right. But, even they did not think the Conservatives would sink so low. I appeal to all right thinking Conservatives ditch your current leadership now. Remember what Maggie said about international agreements - "Britain does not break Treaties. It would be bad for Britain, bad for our relations with the rest of the world and bad for any future treaty on trade we may need to make. As Harold Macmillan said recently: ‘We used to stand for good faith. That is the greatest strength of our commerce overseas. And we are now being asked to tear up a Treaty into which we solemnly entered’". Good post 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Nope, its still in the Bank of England, ready to go to the rightful owner when it's established which it is. Quote The BoE said it was caught in the middle of two rival claims for the gold, one from the government of Mr Maduro and one from Mr Maduro's rival, Juan Guaidó, who declared himself acting president of Venezuela last year.

Litotes 63 #261 Posted September 9, 2020 So the lying cheating sexist racist prime minister is found to be lying and cheating again. Are we surprised? No - but why do we put up with him? - because the sheep that put him into power aren't willing to remove their rose-tinted glasses and adit they have put a scumbag into a position from which he can royally screw over this country.

No. Boris must stay until the United Kingdom has broken apart. After which we can throw "Nudden Oirland" and the sectarian bigots of the DUP under a bus. Then Boris must go.

Moistened 5 #264 Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) I hope that those in the mould of Boris and Trump keep rising to power. People really don't deserve anything less, and it's hilarious.
