Because he's rich and therefore its all his fault. Him and the other rich people of course.
(Rich = more than a certain figure determined by a panel of experts consisting of socialists, students, the Daily Mail and a concerned mother of six).
Perhaps you should add 90% of the British Public to your panel of experts. I do like your concession to Mothers, but why only six kids.(Rich = more than a certain figure determined by a panel of experts consisting of socialists, students, the Daily Mail and a concerned mother of six).
My definition of rich is those persons who enjoy charity giving in terms of cash or kind.

Why did the UK's richest man mean we had to borrow £22bn?
They are just using it to show how our debt relates in size to other things in the world, such as the amount Mittal has, Tesco profits, African debt and other things.grumbledoak said:

Am I right in thinking, that the video simply shows a number of blocks representing sums of money that have no real relationship to each other, and draws no conclusions whats so ever, and is pretty much a "look at thes numbers" thing?
Pretty much, but I think there was a very poor demonstration about third world debt being quite small in there at the end. Crock of ste, that video, especially if I'm wrong as it just proved that I'm right!In fact, if he'd done a two player Tetris with just world debt/govt waste vs third world debt, it'd make more sense.
This kind of style:
