For the record
A sudden rise in Britain’s debt-to-GDP figures? Blame the banks
"Welcome, RBS and Lloyds, to the PSF figures. Your stablemates include other bailed-out British banks like Northern Rock and Bradford & Bingley. According to the ONS, Lloyds and RBS will add some £1,300bn to the level of public sector net debt, which is rather more than the £130bn the Croc and B&B added. So a big welcome, also, for the new British debt-to-GDP figures: - at the end of December 2010: • net debt of £2,322.7 billion including interventions, equivalent to 154.9 per cent of gross domestic product • net debt of £889.1 billion excluding interventions, equivalent to 59.3 per cent of gross domestic product"

That’s a new record. Don’t forget to add the PFI schemes while you’re at it.

When are they going to reveal the other £6.5 Trillion or so that is still behind the curtain? Or are those outdated nuclear power stations all going to to decommission themselves in 2020?
