I can confirm that you are talking a complete and utter crock of shit here, not only with your ignorance of basic geography but your numbers are complete fantasy. UK national debt is something, ball park, $1.5 trillion NOT $8.9 !!!! WTF
I posted 3 links in this thread (look it up), 1 of them was a list of external debts of all countries :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._external_debt

Which shows that the UK indeed has $8.9 trillion ext debt, but...

You need to know the balance between ext debt and ext assets... so that's why I posted the following link first :
