I read the link after I made a similar comment.
While I agree that the loss caused by gold prices is, perhaps, forgivable I notice that if you read the comments someone brings up the real problem: he sold the gold and spent the money.
If he sold it and reinvested it in another currency because he thought it a better investment then OK -- but he didn't.
The historical stuff is irrelevant because this is about Brown not labour.
Politicians are all influenced by the person who will give them a job later in life or a few quid now -- none of them (from the big 3 anyhow) give a flying fuck about this country or its people.
