    So don't worry comrade, there will be BTLer suicides.

    Absolutely, and the Govt has made it so easy now with those voluntary order thingys. Maybe they actually anticipated the potential cascade of kamikazi debtors (bad for poll ratings you know), so have made an easy way out. So they're not so stupid after all.

    OK, so that deals with the real mental debt cases, but what about ordinary Joe Splurge, who is also stuck with a mountain a debt. Reckon, they've got this covered as well. The medicin for this is a good dose of inflation. They just need to noble the BoE (if not already done). This will relieve the reckless borrowers at the expense of the careful savers. Nothing new in that I suppose.
