Well, seeing as Britain is in massive debt to everyone...
The taxpayer will pay the bills. Apparently, time and money is what we need to get out of the recession. The easiest and quickest way to solve this is to just build up our navy and rebuild the British Empire so we can pillage countless continents for gold, coffee, tea and tobacco
Now there's a thought; I believe Abe Lincoln said that tobacco is "good as gold". Why don't we revert to trading tobacco rather than gold? At least it is sustainable.
