Very good questions Wyot - rarely alluded to, as you say.

This is dead money, on old borrowings - mostly. A legacy of our past.

Lester Pidgeon Blair and Brown were the last duo to manage a reduction in the debt - on which the annual interest has become a major burden.

In the current financial year, interest will exceed £111 billion; that's over £2,000,000,000 a week! Money down the drain.

I don't understand economics; but why don't more Governments talk about our debt and getting it down? Why don't voters seem to care?
