I don't think so. The UK national debt is primarily owed to UK institutions and citizens. The government sells bonds to these institutions and guarantees regular interest payments on them. A lot of these payments are used to pay private pensions, so I guess the interest generated on these...

They could end up on an endangered species list. May need to import breeding pairs from the remaining white parts of Europe and release the offspring into the wild outside of Wetherspoons.

I used to drink in the White Horse in Acton. As far as I know, no Black horses have complained.
