Ministers promised that it would offer 'real help now' to homeowners living with the threat of repossession

I've just lost the contents of my bladder - due either to shock or the uncontrollable laughter I experienced when I read this piece. Now, why wasn't I surprised? ;)

Another fine example of our legislators dark art of saying something - for the sake of appearing to be in touch with the problem - but ultimately meaning nothing ::) ::) :y..... nada......zilch......zeeroo!

It apparently takes 3-6 months to put everything in place, by which time, of course, you've lost your house or got so far behind that you dont qualify.

bannjaxx, it's even more interesting to ponder on how they expected to get away with it without any form of sanction ::)... for so long ::)...and still expect their excuses to be swallowed :y :y
