Is England really in debt?


Recommended Posts

If,as a lot of people on this forum seem to believe,people only become rich and powerful by using foul means ( as opposed to fair) why wouldn't they be able to use these same means in your brave new world and once again become or stay powerful?

 

Most people who are really seriously rich did not earn the money for themselves. I truly admire self made men/ women . Unfortunately England is ruled by people whose mummies and daddies gave them lots of lovely money. They had it made from birth. :(

Well that about sums it up. I would like that. England would rise from the ashes like a phoenix. It would be leaner and meaner and the corrupt people who are the ruling classes would all be dead!:D

 

If you want to live like that you could just move to Zimbabwe or Afghanistan. I've not noticed them doing much 'rising from the ashes' though since their economies and governments fell apart (or were taken apart).

coloidial silver was a better more natural medicine before penacilin, (penacilin=big ££££) so im told:)

 

No it wasn't, it still isn't now and what you were told is wrong.

NS&I is a government department offering saving and investment schemes to the general public. It is not like saving with a bank or building society. Instead you are lending money to the government to finance public spending. Because NS&I is backed by HM Treasury, you can rest assured that all your capital is 100 per cent secure, however much you invest.

 

NS&I Premium Bonds

 

Like most others, the UK government borrows money by issuing bonds. In the UK, these government bonds are called gilts.

 

 

So you don't know either.
