The fall of the Tory party

Another thing that majority pisses me off is that they sold off a ton of the gold reserves.

I hear this a lot from my mum about Brown "Well, he sold all the gold".

From what I read briefly, that cost £5bn (though not all of that will manifest as a loss, as the money he got for it will have been invested into things that gave some interest back). At the time he did it, it was also on the advice of most economists so it's not like he just yolo'ed it for his own economic reasons, rather that he made an informed decision based on the opinions of experts who he'd assigned to advise him.

That's clearly a loss; clearly a mistake with hindsight. But it's not one that's so big to still be upset 20 years later, especially compared to the losses accrued by government policy since.
If he hadn't sold it then, I can't imagine it wouldn't have been sold since anyway, and I can't see what use it would be if we did still have it...
