Can someone confirm my understanding of this?
1. The government is in shedloads of debt.
2. The government wants to borrow a shedload more in order to get out of debt.
3. Potential lenders think this is daft.
4. The government has to raise yields to attract lenders.
5. The government debts increase because of the higher interest.
If I've got it right, it's a sort of debt spiral, isn't it.
What happens with all these extra debts when we are still running a big deficit?Comment

2. Just before the wheels come off, hand over to a Scottish numpty who'd kill for the chance to sit behind the wheel, no matter what.
3. Try for president of Europe, after a few years of flogging the book-n-lecture circuits.Comment
