Those poor, poor banks, they are so hard up and skint 
And poor diddums they only destroyed many people’s livelihoods in 2008 and the 1930’s, and probably many other times, even driving some to suicide? /sarcasm

If you think this is some kind of a righteous retribution about the housing bubble, you’re being ridiculous. What I’m interested is that are you being ridiculous knowingly, or unknowingly?

But it doesn’t surprise me to see people come up with righteous excuses for theft; that’s a common failing.
