They could help people with mortgages, but they aren’t & won’t, the longer it goes on the longer our mad system of 2 - 5 year fixed term mortgages run out the clock and people just can’t pay because their rate goes from 1.5% to 6%; they move to interest only (trying to put off the problem), repossessions go up, selling up, renters get screwed as investment props go bad, housing crash (but not as low to actually be a correctionon of the inflated market) etc. etc. etc.

How long before we’re playing ‘Negative Equity’ bingo?
