I'm guessing that when you adjust the debt that England accumulated during WWII to today's numbers, it may equal this.
Chamberlain was more of your kind of leader right?
My kind of leader was Ms Thatcher. I like leaders who improve the economy.
In case you do not know history, at the start of WWII, British Empire was at it’s zenith. Britain was stealing huge amounts of money from it’s colonies. Especially the biggest colony, India.
So Britain was flush with money before WWII started. Learn history before posting nonsense.
