"while house prices have pulled out of their hair-raising 75pc nosedive since the peak of the property boom"

Indeed, forget the term I'd used previously "bow wave." No, substitute "tsunami" or "perfect storm." The moment we've all been waiting for. The end of funny money. New definition for "kamikazi": one who raises interest rates after loaning you more than half the world's liquid assets, seemingly for free. TR, in my humble estimation this pigeon will grow to weigh many tons and will roost with heavier and heavier consequences.

Say no more. We can only hope that the UK banks wake up to this before they lend any more billions to people who will not be able to repay once the full implications of this start to take effect.
