According to Guido Fawke’s blog, the government is set to make a Mr Darren Minnikins homeless by foreclosing on his mortgage through the nationalised bank Northern Rock.

I think (although I can’t remember where I read it) that Northern Rock are involved in more foreclosure actions than any other mortgage provider at the moment. So, if I’m right, getting repossessed by Northern Rock is effectively repossession by the government. That’s a hell of a way to replenish the council-housing stocks :S
