Unless you get them to wise up, of course. There is remedy in Law.

Is there no one left to tell Gordon that the country is bankrupt - or is he too busy smashing mobile phones and printers against walls whilst swearing at Downing Street switchboard operators to notice?
Too right. I was only a kid during the 80s, but from what I've read/heard, we're not even close to the shit we were in then. You can come up with all sorts of statistics about money borrowed (which is meaningless as the absolute terms they keep insisting on because it makes it sound worse than a percentage), but in terms of the effects on ordinary people, I heard far more horror stories from back then than are going on now. We're not even close to the 3 million unemployed, and we're certainly not in a situation where we are permanently getting rid of work for whole swathes of the country.
Not to mention house price fall retarding and the stock market on the rise. Happy days are here again ?
Recession, what recession ?
Ermmmm,maybe not. Has anyone perhaps considered that this is end of the beginning of the depression ? My guess for what it is worth is that before all this is over you will get the chance to experience first hand all those horror stories you have heard because I strongly suspect some will.
Of course I would not recommend that you do.
It will take a long time to reduce debt, for sure, but I don't see mass unemployment, house reposessions etc happening. Could be completely wrong, but hopefully we'll ride it out easier than some predict.
