The ONS figures are for government (public) debt only. Wikipedia gives total external debt - public and private.

You're still not over it, I see.  I notice she forgets that all the EU member states are in debt too. According to Statista, France is in debt to the tune of $3.19 trillion U.S. dollars. Germany $3 trillion.... And both have enjoyed better growth than the UK in the last 8 years. If I had a billion whatever, I wouldn't invest it in a British government which promised nirvana, lied at every level and can't be trusted, and is desperate to tax anything that doesnt affect the population directly, which leaves corporate or investment ownership. Both contradictory to encouraging growth. The country is backed into a corner and in international eyes, shrunk to Alice in Wonderland size. When the rest of the world is looking for a secure investment and a large internal market, you chose to leave it because you believed liars and charlatans like Boris who thought he was crowned king above parliament and the law, and they have done NOTHING to justify Brexit as a success even after five goes at finding a govt that can. And BTW, and mention of democratic deficit is hilarious . It it time to grow up and stop believing in some phantom make believe perfect world according to your own recipe and start dealing with reality. |

There isnt enough money in the domestic market. The country is already over a trillion pounds in debt in an unknown interest rate situation. Investment in serious and future economic welfare is going to places you voted to leave. Because business knows the market is already there and is global via the EU trade deals.And no one wants to invest in such an unreliable erratic uk government ? Followed by: I never mentioned the EU... Liars need good memories, Dim Kim. And you don't have one. |

I have no idea what you are talking about. A small Dad's army of flag waving brexit supporters has already been wiped out. It says what do you want, so do I have to keep spelling it out. Whether that be all over the UK or Europe, I really don't mind. It makes no difference to me what bullshit you can think up at any given time. Yes. They are bluffing to hold on to unwarranted power. The problem is created by their unwarranted / incompetent power and they offer nothing but themselves as a 'solution' Typically, gambits like this tend to end with large numbers of executions when they fail. |
