1967: Wilson defends 'pound in your pocket'
The Prime Minister, Harold Wilson, has defended his decision to devalue the pound saying it will tackle the "root cause" of Britain's economic problems.
The government announced last night it was lowering the exchange rate so the pound is now worth $2.40, down from $2.80, a cut of just over 14%.
The decision came after weeks of increasingly feverish speculation and a day in which the Bank of England spent £200m trying to shore up the pound from its gold and dollar reserves.
In a radio and television broadcast this evening, the Prime Minister said devaluation would enable Britain to " break out from the straitjacket" of boom and bust economics.
I couldn't give a schecht what Wilson did when I was less than a year old.
Maybe you can tell us why you support a party that is dismantling the NHS and selling it off in pieces to themselves and the same money grabbing mates who landed your country in the shyte?
Or voted the richest people in the country (including themselves) a whopping big tax cut, while mugging our wallets every time we fuel up?
Yeah, we're all in it together. Some more than others.....
