Are we £400 million in debt....... NO Don't believe some of the stuff you read, the owners, mainly Ruben have absorbed the debt by converting it into shares.... | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Project Big Ben? on 21:19 - Mar 15 with 5445 views | lassel | For context, the owners have had American consultants on retainer for years now to try and find some suckers, I mean investors, to come onboard. To date they’ve only reeled in Reilly who is more Koi carp than whale.
