I’m not sure that’s true. The exact figure varies a little depending on where you look but they broadly agree that the UK treasury is holding that level of debt.

Which countries own the most US debt? | USAFacts

As of April 2024, foreign countries own approximately $7.9 trillion in Treasury securities — or 22.9% of total US debt.

The UK Treasury is not holding that debt. It is a misunderstanding of how the UK works. And to equate it to China is also not worthwhile. All the sources say "the UK holds the debt". But it is not the Treasury. It is indeed investment banks/ pension funds/ institutions/ private investments. Some are held in the UK but are not actually British as such. They are foreign investors using London.

Perhaps, I fecked up my words a bit.

I mean that if the American economy collapses, ours does too.....as it's already orientated around it as both the largest single nation trader and holding so much debt of theirs.

Interdependence has its downsides......Globalism, unless you have the ability to be self reliant, ultimately controls you.

That’s what I thought. At the moment there’s more concern with debt spiralling in Europe, and the UK.

Doesn't seem much report in the media over this....I wonder why!

Very sad anyway. Apparently the suspect had priors and let off easily by judges. Obviously not a lot of information on it for some strange reason it's been kept quiet.

The truth isn't preferred to the narrative.

If the races had been the other way around it would be massive news.

If the guy had been far right it would be massive news.

The media aren't about the truth.

Not white ?

Not white ?

Yep, it's the same as if the murderer had been a transsexual.

If it's a white person against a minority the media go huge on it. If the victim is a white person and the murderer is from a minority.....the response is much more muted.

It's called 'Coulter’s Law'.....though she framed it for mass shootings, but essentially it works for most situations today.

Stabbed three times in the neck....collapsed terrified thirty seconds later, as he walked off.....DOA.
