It seems incredible that we still owe money raised to pay for WW1 .... since time of course we've had WW2, Korea, Falklands, Iraq etc

'And the owners of 99% of the £1.94bn (€2.4bn, $3.26bn) WWI debt still around are a secret group of financial institutions.' - what the hell!? who are these guys?

... and yet Germany paid off theirs four years ago ...

I was thinking, if we haven't yet paid for WW1, have we paid for Korea, WW2, Falklands or Iraq? The mind boggles ......

Ironic isn't it that the country which twice created world wars is now probably one of the richest nations on earth ? In the meantime we have only recently managed to pay back our 'war debt' to the USA.

Perhaps we should just forgive and forget ?

I won't. Millions died in both world wars started by the Germans. I will never forgive them for that.
