In the first 3 months of this year, house repossessions jumped 17% compared with last year. More than 9000 households, unable to service their debt, were forcibly evicted by thuggish bailiffs acting on court orders granted to lenders, who in some cases had been bailed out by taxpayers thanks to an un-mandated UK Govt when in a similar situation themselves.

With more and more people struggling to service debts as unemployment rises, we can expect this state sanctioned looting to continue to rise.
One evicted householder sitting forlorn on a pile of possessions outside his now boarded up former home said, "How long do we let this madness continue? If just 50 people had turned up and helped me physically resist this eviction, I'd still have a home, and a community would have made a stand for common sense".
A self-organised resistance movement fighting back against the crumbling neo-liberal edifice and its even scarier aftermath would also have begun.
!No Pasaran!
