A liquidation would have been a lot cheaper. Would have been able to buy some cheap property and the cycle could have started again. We now have property prices that have exceeded the peak in London as nobody working in a bank has lost a penny. Any ideas of what to buy to avoid the collapse of the pound as the lost decade begins?

Thats terrible. Just because they loaned you funny money made out of thin air & fooled the taxpayers into paying for all their gambling frauds ( of what are actually bankrupt operations) - - - you should pay those too big/and well connected to fail. You should get two or three or more extra jobs, sell whatever things of value you own. You should do this even if it trashes your health & family. You should do this even though they got the politicians to pass a law they wrote which doesn't allow people to escape credit card debt through bankruptcy in the U.S. (yeah I know its rather ironic that bankrupt banks taking tax payer money would have the gall to push this with a straight face). - - Do the right thing.

P.S. - - if youre outside of the U.S. you'll have to adjust the names of the guilty parties to your own circumstances. Its seems that this kind of madness/criminality is pretty universal in the west right now.
