Par for the course given that the Banks have to cover the bad debts of the Profligates by demanding more from the Honest and Frugal.
Hopefully the Honest and Frugal will realise that it is they who are paying for the bad debts - not the banks.
It is time that the majority of the population - the Honest and Frugal (who live within their means) start to shun and shame the Profligates and make unpaid debt once again a dirty word.
Maybe this should translate into a change in attitude in those who want to be in the next Govt - and that the Parties will campaign hard to be the most Honest and Frugal - and clamp down on idiots who think that the rest of us are going to fund their lifestyles.
Bring back the Stocks !!

Stocks = Village Stocks - I would like to have the personal satisfaction throwing squishy tomatoes at bankcrupts proven to be Profligate - for about a week.
Anyone have other fitting punishments that the courts should hand out ?
