Happy that you found it funny that a local Mp is rarely seen in his community.

I once saw Jared O’Mara judging vegetables at the Dore Show.

 

Careful what you wish for.

You could emigrate to France.

 

You’d fit in perfectly with Le  Pen’s rabble.

I'm thinking of emigrating to New Zealand if Starmer and Labour takeover.

Maybe worth a re-read
Britain was right to sell off its pile of gold  Financial Times via Archive.today
The Treasury made the right decision not selling

On this one occasion, Mr Brown’s decision was the right one. Let speculators go gambling on a shiny metal, if they want to. For most governments in rich countries, holding gold remains a largely pointless activity.
With hindsight, of course, Mr Brown could have gained a better price by waiting. At current rates, the $3.5bn the UK received selling bullion between 1999 and 2002 would have been closer to $19bn. The difference at current exchange rates, by the way, would be enough to cover a little over three weeks of the UK’s expected public deficit for the fiscal year 2010-2011 – not negligible, but hardly pivotal.

I'm not sure that running away from a Labour Government would qualify if claiming political asylum.

They wouldn't have spent said billions because they would have had it to spend,but Brown put paid to that,or probably don't know that.
