Even adding 500 billion to the 1.56 trillion of debt still isnt the highest debt in the developed world. The US national debt to foreign countries stands at over $6 trillion - so unless you dont consider the US to be part of the developed world (which would just be silly) then your statement in bold above is a complete fabrication and nothing more than scare-mongering. Is that level of debt of concern ? Of course - but is your statement accurate ? Absolutely not. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I of course spect the usual I don’t like that so I will rubbish the source deny the reality depend on cliches. http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/northern-ireland-stormont-crisis-sinn-fein-dup-united-ireland-credible-inevitable-a7615756.html And yet again... Ignoring your own blatant lies, spinning the conversation to something completely irrelevant (I omitted nothing, merely gave you more examples than you had suggested were even in existence) To be honest, you are completely ignoring the points being put to you and creating some spurious counter-claim - something which nobody even mentioned. Lets deal with FACTS. You said there were only 3 British colonies remaining. You were proven to be WRONG. What was your response ? To ignore being wrong and focus on Ireland looking at seceding. Get your facts straight first and then deal with the periphery. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,345 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Barrheadboy does this every time. Asks for facts and then when he gets them, ignores them and moves onto other subjects he mistakenly thinks he's right about. It's pointless trying to debate sensibly with him. Mind you, we should ignore a referendum result and just focus on a poll carried out last week amongst 2-300 Scots. That the sort of parallel universe he inhabits. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immigrants are net contributors to our economy ,our public services will suffer greatly if the Little Brits get their way on immigration. Only the right wing racist press has articles on the situation at Calais? I didn't have the Guardian down as right wing racist press. Oh well. And by the way, my wife is an immigrant.
