I am not too sure these days, but has the UK got left that ...
"It does sound slightly like what he is doing is picking up the sofa and giving it a good old shake to see if there are any 50 pence coins lurking under the cushions, but nonetheless £3bn is not bad money."
Very much so…
The cupboard is bare and it's all 'Prudence' Browns fault.

I think if the UK has no money whatever we have left of value will be sold of to some other country. Ok fair point, BUT these fuggers will then charge us thrice the price for the same product, make there money back in several minutes and we will be bleed further not only by internal incompetence but by some dodgy share holder, Maybe Libya or Iran is ready to buy some UK assets like the uranium processing from Urenco.

It's amazing what money is laying around. So take for example the dartford crossing did we pay to build it? I imagine it's still a toll for using it. Wonder what will happen to the price of the toll?

He may not have noticed that:
1. the people who would buy such stuff (or arrange the same) are the investment bankers, hedge funds and private equity types his governemnt has spent the last 12 months variously demonising
2. when you pre-announce vast asset sales (for short term effect) that tends to drop the price (see: Gold Sales)
3. many of the takers will Sovereign wealth funds from countries not big on civil rights etc. But they have money so who cares
4. this will not be seen as fiscal prudence but fiscal capitulation.
