Gordon Brown and the Labour party used to accuse the Conservative Government of 'selling the family silver' when privatisation measures were introduced. They then enthusiastically started privatisations themselves and rather ironically sold a large part of British gold reserves for rock bottom prices. Now that gold prices are so much higher - don't they look a bit stupid and shortsighted?

taxpayers money lies ,SPIN ,and sending our
armed forces to these conflicts without the proper equipment to die

They may look a bit stupid, but isn't there a significant element of hindsight in here? It would be interesting to know if this impressive rise in the price of gold (and commodities in general) was predictable, because in that case the answer to your question would be a definite 'yes'. But otherwise, I'd say it's kind of difficult to say.

No they don't. They look like people trying to get re-elected.
Its the system that is flawed.
