The "credit crunch" was not an unhappy accident, the deregulation which preceeded it was encouraged by successive governments, in search of ever increasing growth in the economy....a necessity for capitalism to survive......one last roll of the dice, and we all know who the losers were.....not the banks, not the capitalist financial wisards, but you and me......Mr and Mrs Joe Public, and their children and grand children.
