I think the government should declare a debt amnesty. They're always moaning about the level of personal debt in this country. What they forget is that low wages, extortionate mortgages, exorbitant transport prices, rampant unemployment, high taxation etc. etc. are THEIR fault, not ours, and that the reason people live beyond their means is Government incompetence, not so much personal fecklessness. You cannot live within your means when you're in a part time, minimum wage job.
So I think there should be a debt amnesty. You should be able to take your mortgage, credit card bill, red letters from the electric board etc. to the local police station, leave them all anonymously in a big box, and never see them again.
As for the banks and their profiteering, multi millionaire directors and share holders, I say UP YOURS to the lot of them. If they find themselves running out of money after the amnesty, there are plenty of crap, unsocial hours, minimum wage jobs for them.
