The banks are the pushers. Gordon Brown is the Colombian Cartel. We are the junkies. The markets are the Drugs Squad.
Brown had a bumper crop of cash (which he also watered down) and sold it to his pushers, the retail banks, at a knocked down price. The pushers got us hooked and we (well, some of us) mainlined on credit.
Unfortunately the Anti Narcotics Police, in the guise of the markets, mounted a successful raid on the Colombian Cartel's drug farms and factories and the supply dried up.
Now comes the cold turkey.

I'd dispute the "we" in that post. You may be referring to "some of us" or even "most of us" but I (along with many others) have an almost biblical aversion to borrowing money.
