It is weird being small, a simple honest taxpayer which has to face the reality that banks debt are swallowed by the Government (for good reason) but mines won't be, and your neither. At the end of the day if you owe 1000 pounds you are in trouble, if you own 1.000.000.000.000.000 everybody will help you.
Which leads me to reverse the question, if we are to bail out these institutions, how is that they will kick you out of your home for missing a payment? may be is time for a rethink?
