I'd suggest that the vast majority of people got so badly scarred by the credit crunch that they are now looking to pay off high levels of personal debt whenever and wherever they can so that they never again give their bank/building society the opportunity to get them by the balls. The wider economy can do one.

I think the stats show this is correct as I am sure I read somewhere we pay more off cards a month than spend

I've been very impressed with Cameron's speech so far. "I promise under my government we will never join the Euro" 
Whatever other people think of him, at least he's trying his hardest to getting us out of the mess Labour created. Decent Prime Minister.

Bold words indeed.I've been very impressed with Cameron's speech so far. "I promise under my government we will never join the Euro"
Was just thinking the same thing.
It's the equivalent of Kenny Daglish joining Liverpool and announcing that he promises his team will not lose 78-0 to Everton in any game in the next 3 seasons.
I think you massively missed my point.
And yes, there is social cleansing going on. So much of what the tories are doing is having the effect of forcing poor and middle income people out of central London. These attacks are not just on an underclass of perma-dole abusers but on working families, single poor people, pensioners and hard working unskilled people.

its a bit of a tangent from the topic, but since your here i'll point out our electricity prices keep going up to pay for subsidising green alternatives. UK electric prices are inline with european prices, cheaper than Germany or Holland, but more than France.

After getting annoyed with his posh blather and the foully sour faces of all speech-onlookers i turned over to Countdown and was more moved by Anneka Rice's encouragement to help the poor or desperate in the community including the little old woman in the village who struggles carrying her shopping.
Has he just sold all our gold for a record low price?
I've no doubt that's true but I'm not happy about my bill doubling within twelve months. That really bloody hurts. It's difficult enough to budget and live to my means with these kinds of price hikes. Until my employers decide to randomly double what they are paying me it's going to continue to be difficult. I appreciate however that you are arguing from facts whereas I have nothing more than my pathetic emotional outpourings.
That sounds promising unless the payments include interest payments, which means our card debt could still be increasing.
already done it..................... can't sell it twice

err .............. that's just continuing the policy of the last Labour government
No but a former tory adminstration sold of all the family silver (ie council housing, the rail network and the utilities). The 'market forces' that were going to drive down the end cost to the consumer really worked there didn't they. We can constantly find examples where the tories/labour should have done better in the past, let's stick to the issue in hand.
I know he was incompetent but did Gordon Brown really sell all of our gold?

except that it's not HIS government it's OUR government!
