"We Live in the Age of Delusions" - Peter Hitchens
"Paid it off the other day. What we paid off the other day was actually our Second World War debt. The First World War debt, we stopped payments on it in 1934, and we haven't paid a penny since, or any interest. We actually defaulted on it."
Peter Hitchens claims the UK stopped paying its First World War debt to the United States in 1934 and has not paid principal or interest since. He argues that the debt recently paid off related to the Second World War, not the First.
