Did we ever get reparations for the destruction wrought on this country in WW2? Seem to recall we were left to repay debts to the USA for several decades, whilst at least one half of Germany got its entire industrial base rebuilt by the same country.
And I don't imagine we submitted any invoices for helping to liberate Belgium, Holland, Denmark, and France.
Maybe we could run up a few £Billion in you-owe-us and stick 'em on the table?
