[ Ссылка ] The British government has agreed to sell Northern Rock, the failed mortgage lender it nationalised in 2008. It's being bought by Virgin Money, the banking arm of Richard Branson's Virgin empire.





Northern Rock, was nationalised in early 2008 after banks abruptly stopped lending to each other in the credit crisis.



The deal could eventually net the equivalent of more than a billion euros for the British government.
