Rob talks about the growing national debt in the UK and its potential consequences, drawing parallels between the current situation and the financial challenges faced by Britain in the 1970s.
Rob highlights the unsustainable path of increasing debt, rising inflation, and mounting public debt, and discusses the possibility of a debt reset and the potential return to a gold standard.

BEST MOMENTS
"We've got inflation running away at the moment, I would say. If you've had to top up your car recently, you'd probably appreciate that that's anywhere between 30% and 50% up in the last couple of years."
"If we go back to a gold standard based on the current debt that we've got, not just the UK, but globally, the price of gold could be anywhere between 5,000 to 20, maybe even $25,000."
"We're in this death spiral where it's just going to implode. But government, mainstream media, we're going to keep the game ticking along for as long as possible."
"We in the UK, we've got a ticking debt time bomb. Our debt's increasing, debt to GDP is increasing. It's eerily similar to the 1970s in terms of what's going on from a macro point of view."
