Why is financial irresponsibility being applauded?
No, but there is shared blame in so far as the housing crisis/bubble. Way too many people leveraged themselves to artificially high home valuations with ridiculously high payments with no regard to reality or the future. Sure there were some scams and a goodly amount of unethical mortgage brokers and investment banks... but hordes of otherwise intelligent people got stupid also.

The video was back in May 2012, and due to the major embarrassment we caused the court, they came back for a 2nd eviction some time later, which again we attended. Unfortunately, this time they brought the heavies; High Court Enforcement Officers, who are unabashed fascists. The Police were ordered to stand down, and Sgt Mo, had been ordered not to attend. The bailiffs used excessive violence to secure entry. But however, due to the video evidence, we have the grounds to prosecute and sue them for their tyrannical actions. The Bird family's struggle against the bank continues, as we prepare for the next round of action against the bank. The only time you truly lose your home is when you GIVE UP.
I've always contended that it's an 80/20 issue (20% being consumers), but that the 80% representing the bankers may not have been so large if the 20% were not so willing to be absolutely stupid.

It is that 80% that brought our national economy to it's knees.

I kind of see what happened in this vid as a win, maybe not the war, but that battle was a win, and another step in the right direction. Now people know how to nullify the bailiff,
