    this article explains that England's net debt also hit 870 b. £..the equivalent of 61.7% GDP..............
    this definition is not true (at least technically !)..when you talk about
    the Debt, then you must define it's detailed contains.!public or private ..
    this country's( only)net “ Fiscal” debt is - 1 trillion £-.this number covers
    current money and interest values !! not nominal ( constant) !!
    this country resists against (US $)..(Euro).. else ..becouse it wants to
    storage and suppres own debts as nominally not currently !! in other
    words it does not want to payback debts !! England's Financial Systematics are allways under “ default conditions”... in person
    I never lend to this country as nominally becouse it can't be lucrative.

    ONS and ( or) other national statistics (other countries') are not reliable
    they have chaotic calculations !! numbers are not true in general !
    as a sample : CPI(consumer price inflation) numbers are all false ..
    other ones more worse and degenerated..

    h. you say that England does not want to enter Euro Zone to
    suppress it's debts.! .this is technically true !
    but Anglo Saxons don't have this high level brains..cannot think !
    all are Keynes idiot ! off shore butterflies !.usualy thinks tactical
    not even strategical !! not have eagle eyes !! can not see somethings !
    I say that they don't enter Euro Zone becouse they have phobias
    related to their own other European rivals ....that is simple !.
