why should the Brits pay the nat’l debt? They didn't spend it. 385,000 Barbadosians inherit an island completely built out, with advanced infrastructure, ports, an existing industrial capability, and a lucrative tourist industry, that has failed to turn a profit because of low productivity versus a high population burden on the limited resources of an island.

Barbados gets about 23 million pounds a year in foreign aid from EU members. That's on top of the millions that England and the US has given in aid and lost trade credit.

Chances are strong that, like the Marshalls, China will start cozying up to Barbados promising ‘infrastructure’ or ‘medical training’ or some such to ingratiate themselves that will put Barbados in a compromising position. And the freedom and security they enjoyed under the British Commonwealth long gone. But they asked for it, so Good luck to them.

With a nation such as Barbados and its chiseling economy, it just makes sense to rip off as many nations as possible as many times as possible. Therefore the attempt to get England to pay for the national debt. Or the UN or NATO, or whom ever.
