A lot of debt was put off the books using PFI.

Her Majesty should (as the Head of State and the Armed Forces) order immediate arrest for treason of all Labour MPs and send them to Australia, or something like this.

Sh could always "invest" part of her £5billion into helping the pesants survive

Australia doesn't want our crooks any more.

Make a deal with any country that wishes to enrage in this mutually beneficial agreement: for every Labour MP crook accepted by said country for lifetime imprisonment (compliance with human rights is optional) will get X UK passports issued randomly or to whoever is nominated by their officials. I am pretty sure there will be enough takers to deal with 2000-3000 large UK criminals - in fact, maybe any crime that warrants more than 5 years in jail would automatically mean such person will have to serve them in another country (Afganistan for example). If they don't like it then don't commit crimes.

Started well there my nut munching comrade. We'll snip the rest.

A quick check of the economist back pages will show UK debt / % GDP on par with: Egypt. Pakistan.
UK has more debt than USA did (as%). Biggest in Western World. Real chance of default especially if one were to "on-book" PFIs. In fact I recommend to my pal D.C. that they simply stop the PFI payments.

Really? I always check figures:

List of countries by public debt - some examples

% of GDP
Egypt 105.8
Canada 68.5
France 64.0
Germany 63.1
US 60.8
Pakistan 52.8
Switzerland 45.3
UK 43.0

Arguably we don't have enough!
