Usury: Alive and Well in Twenty-first Century Britain

ACCORDING to this article personal debt in Britain is increasing by £1 million every four minutes. As the Lord admonishes the Jews in Ezekiel (22:12-14):

'In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.
'Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which
thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.
'Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, on the days that I
shall deal with thee? I the Lord have spoken it, and will do it.'
