It's all about perspective...
if you're flat on your back in the gutter, you can at least guarantee you're looking at the stars...

In all honesty, most of the "woe is me, it's all gone to shit"-ing is being doen by two sorts of people:

a) People on low incomes who borrowed more than they could afford at exhorbitant rates of interest and then failed to pay what they owed, prompting bailiffs, repossessions and a thorough kicking from the banks.

Or,

b) Wide-tie-knot twats working in either finance or estate agency who reamed innocent members of the public for large sums of cash, then laughed about it at they blew theire exhorbitant bonuses on huge quantities of coke and acted like the selfish, amoral, money-grabbing, worse-than-the-yupipes-of-the-80s wankstains their mothers hoped they'd never be.

Fuck 'em, says I. Cunts to a man.

Having said that, I do feel for the poor bastards who have lead frugal lives, worked hard and are being kicked in the bollocks because of these wankers getting away with murder for 10 years or more...
