Gentle return to normality?... what a difference 10 days can make!

DavidSmith: Home economics: a solution to the problems in the mortgage market?

David Smith's vintage piece of just 10 days ago was preaching cautious optimism and all will be fine. With the confidence of an insider, David was boasting the £100bn liquidity injection by the central banks... oops a banana peel, the obscure institution formerly known as Bear Sterns brought us all back to the seriousness of the current credit crisis. And the City job losses (now estimated at 10,000 and counting) project gloom on the London housing market. Sorry, David, try to write a piece which can last more than a weekend!

I'm getting weary of hearing the sort of nonsense this guy continually spews out. Northern Rock didn't get in trouble because of the money markets drying up. The money markets dried up because of their reckless business model.Mr Smith please stop trying to spin your selves back in time. It's over. Let it go...

I'm also fedup with all these silly buzz words and phrases like "liquidity injection". Why not just be honest and say government support or tax payers money to the tune of £100 billion.
