Incorrect.  The UK doesnt need one.    It isnt the size of ones debt but the ability to service the debt that is the issue here.

This. Investors are not worried that the UK will default on its debt.

It's purely a confidence issue. If no one believes default will occur then it never will, and vice versa.
