Woohoo. The US owes
us money as well... (Is that 3.4% for the UK? The colours are
[edit]n't[/edit] brilliant, but appears to be.[1])
I know we'd finally paid off our own lend-lease/wartime debts in 2006, but never thought they'd be owing us so much (somewhere between $189,868m and $461,108m[3][4], it appears).
I tried a bit more research about the UK's various international debts, as comparison but it was hard to avoiding either the BNP's website page on this subject. Even avoiding that, the Taxpayer's Alliance Debt Clock and several suspiciously-similar web-pages only give the (rolling, estimated) total current debts. And obviously with the target agenda in mind.
[1] To be sure, I checked out
the first Google item with the relevant search words and the value is 1.4%, with no indication of being a different date... The JFIF artefacts[2] make UK and Brazil practically the same colour in the key... But if the key-order relates to the various arcs in the sequence given, it should be that.
[2] Should have been .PNG format. Even .GIF, with a good palette choice.
[3] I'm allergic to the US Billion (thousand million) but understand that the
traditional UK Billion (million million) wouldn't be understood, and besides which isn't any good for this value, so I'll use high multiple millions in this text.
[4] ...and the variation is likely due to currency fluctuations, as much as anything.
