I don 't why the hurry to get austerity over, lets get the debt down. Presently the country owes 1.7 trillion £s, most of it the debt from the last Labour government. Of the moment it costs the country
c. £50, 000,000,000 a year in interest payments alone to service the debt. I am afraid that Mr Corbyn sounds irresponsible in his utterances. Under his leadership it would appear that we could end up paying £100,000,000,000 in interest payments and eventually lenders would conclude that the UK was a bad investment and not lend to us at all. We need to about half the present debt to bring us into line with other countries borrowing. I am afraid that the back of a fag packet calculations of the Labour Party will make things worse. Indeed, since the war no Labour government has left office with the UK being better off than when they came to power, mostly they have just ranked up more debt
