The UK is/is not skint thread

[Steve]

Grrrr the UK is not skint

Cyprus has probably figured that yet another awful dirge aimed only at getting Greek votes was going to hurt the vital tourist trade.  Greece will now be mortified realising that their guaranteed douze points have just gone down the tubes

Cyprus?


If you can cover your debts and not have to go begging to Germany for €Bmega donations to bail you out you're not skint

Same as anyone that has a mortgage and can pay the monthly repayments is not skint and if you look we have been more in hock than we are now.

I think the war was a bit different Steve.... haven't we only just finished paying the Yanks back the money we borrowed to build arms...?

And how much cash has the UK simply printed...?

The advantage the UK has over say Greece is that we can still pint more cash that we need... but that doesn't make the country any less in debt at the end of the day....

[Steve]

Yes the advantage the UK has over Greece is we are not skint

Not quite the same thing Steve, these sovereign debts will never be paid, unlike most mortgages. Cyprus has not had the 'luxury' of being able to print it's own money like the UK or US to be able to buy up it's own debt - at historically low interest rates. The bond market in the UK will have the ultimate say, as it is starting to in the US, then we will see who is skint. In the meantime the value of the pound will have been seriously damaged.
