Northern Rock

I was out campaigning earlier when I received a text telling me Northern Rock was to be nationalised. I remember the Government rejected the suggested when suggested by Vince Cable and the Liberal Democrats - how much dithering can one Government do!

My mortgage is with Northern Rock and whilst I am sure it will make no real difference to me. I am hoping that as the Government have not been very good with looking after things lately they might lose my payments, somehow i can't see that happening though.
