100% mortgages to be discouraged

As decided by our Prime Minister Gordon Brown. I'm glad that stable door has been shut.

If only he had said it in the up of the lending cycle, a lot less people would be facing a lot less hardship. After all these are the people most likely to feel the pinch on any market price adjustments.

One commentator I read has been saying for a while that bank bosses need to be interviewed to ascertain the expected losses, and failure to disclose would mean loss of liberty - prison. This seemed a bit extreme to me when he first said it, but given the position of the country has now been so compromised for so many years - I think it is justifiable.
