No one seems to care that barely any of Greece's debts are owed to the UK

We don't participate in Eurozone bailouts for obvious reasons, so apart from our IMF contribution, we have no exposure. Admittedly British banks are exposed, but still much less than the Eurozone and the US. This pales in comparison to Germany, who have nearly ?100bn at stake. Poor Malta have 5% of their GDP tied up in this mess.

With this in mind, I find it quite inappropriate for Corbyn and his like to be calling for debt cancellation. It's like sitting in the pub and shouting at other people to pay for your drunk friend's drinks.
