We're not so far behind Greece in terms of GDP. It's approaching 12%, and Greece is at 12.7%.
And the amount of money we owe is 240 times Iceland's debt.
Brown has managed to run up a national debt that is already more than £913,000,000,000, and it is shooting up. It's over £14,600 for every man, woman and child in the UK. The annual interest on that debt is nearly £43,000,000,000. Even with 2 wars to fight that's still more than the defence budget, and very nearly the entire education budget.
