Prime Minister Gordon Brown's government faced accusations of mismanagement Monday as it began nationalizing stricken mortgage lender Northern Rock PLC - the first time in 20 years that a private company has been taken into public ownership.
The government repeatedly insisted a private sale was its preferred option. But after five months of intense speculation about the future of Britain's most public casualty of the global credit crunch, Brown said nationalization was the best choice until market conditions improve.
The opposition Conservative Party said Britain's reputation as a major financial services center had been dealt a serious blow.
"The nationalization of Northern Rock is a disaster for the British taxpayer, a disaster for this government and a disaster for our country," said Conservative Party leader David Cameron.
The government's troubles were compounded by the threat of a drawn-out legal battle with unhappy shareholders and the potential of hundreds, or thousands, of workers losing their jobs.
Brown's reputation as a guardian of financial stability in Britain has been dented, eroding some of the plaudits he received for presiding over an unprecedented stretch of economic growth as treasury chief before becoming prime minister.
On the defensive Monday, Brown and his successor in the treasury office, Alistair Darling, disputed that Britain's international reputation has been tarnished.
The government had rejected two private proposals from Richard Branson's Virgin Group and an in-house bid from the bank's management team because they involved too many risks for taxpayers and a very significant government subsidy.
Brown said Northern Rock will be run "at arm's length from the government under professional management until adverse market conditions change and then the bank can be returned to the private sector."
But critics said the temporary nationalization proposed by the government could last years as Northern Rock's new management seeks to pay back around $107 billion via loans from the Bank of England and deposit guarantees.
Ron Sandler, who brought back Lloyd's of London from the edge of bankruptcy in the late 1990s and has been appointed by the government to run Northern Rock, declined to comment on job losses, amid suggestions from analysts that as many as half the company's 6,250 positions could be cut.
"Temporary nationalization is at last a period where the bank can move forward and away from turbulent waters where it's been sailing in recent months," Sandler said.
Darling did not provide details on the restructure of the bank as he announced emergency legislation to allow the nationalization, saying he would provide more information when the bill begins its passage through Parliament today.
The new laws would give the government sweeping powers to seize any other bank that runs into trouble, but Darling stressed they have a sunset clause of one year and that the government plans to use them only in relation to Northern Rock.
The Conservative Party said it plans to oppose the legislation, but the government's numbers are expected to push the bill through Parliament.
Meanwhile, trading in the stock was suspended to make way for nationalization, leaving shareholders unable to sell their holdings after the government first announced its plan Sunday.
Under British rules on nationalization, shareholders will be offered compensation for their holdings at a level set by a government-appointed panel.
The panel will calculate a figure based on the bank's value without government guarantees - a figure most analysts expect to be very little or nothing at all.
The stock closed at $1.75 Friday, valuing the company at $738 million. The price has fallen more than 80 percent since Sept. 13, one day before Northern Rock revealed it had sought the emergency funding.
A poll suggests most Europeans would back an immigration ban on people from Muslim-majority countries as President Trump tries to push through a similar ban in the U.S. The Russian President has invaded Korea - That's the claim of a U.S. congresswoman - with some Americans taking her words at face value.

Madrid, Spain (CNN) -- A Saudi army lieutenant colonel died Tuesday during a training flight at a Spanish air base, the Spanish Defence Ministry said.
The incident happened around 9:30 a.m. (3:30 a.m. ET) during a training flight aboard a Eurofighter Typhoon jet. A few minutes after takeoff, the plane hit the ground for unknown reasons, the Defense Ministry said.
A Spanish pilot who was also on board ejected before the plane hit the ground, the ministry said.
A special committee has been sent to the Moron Air Base in Seville to investigate, the Defense Ministry said.
The Saudi pilot was at Moron to sign an agreement on Spanish-Saudi cooperation, which includes training for Saudi pilots on the Eurofighter, the ministry said.
Saudi Arabia is one of the customers for the Eurofighter, which is manufactured by an international consortium of Britain's BAE Systems, the German and Spanish arms of EADS, and Italy's Alenia Aeronautica.

Does Robert Pattinson have a secret girlfriend and son?
There are some very strange reports coming out of Australia. Famous magazine have reported that Robert Pattinson has a girlfriend and it's not Kristen Stewart!
Apparently his girlfriend's name is Elaina Arora. According to the Australian magazine the couple, that's Pattinson and this Arora woman, had an argument via Twitter. This seems hard to believe as Pattinson doesn't even have a verified Twitter account.
The story gets even better. According to Famous, Pattinson also has a secret son. Guess what his name is?....Sham. How appropriate. Twihards across the globe have insisted that this imaginary child is just that, a sham.
Supposedly Pattinson was spotted with a mystery brunette woman in London last year and this was Arora.
It's not wonder that poor Kristen Stewart keeps her lips tightly shut about her relationship with Robert Pattinson. Having just being spotted walking down the street with an unknown brunette the story about Pattinson has snowballed into a secret girlfriend and son. Ridiculous.
Gov. Kate Brown faces a challenge from Republican Knute Buehler, a state lawmaker who describes himself as a moderate.
Democrats have occupied the governor's mansion since 1987. But this election Gov. Kate Brown faces a challenge from Republican Knute Buehler, a state lawmaker who describes himself as a moderate and is competitive.
In the Legislature, Buehler represents the town of Bend, which has more registered Democrats than Republicans but where he's nevertheless managed to be elected twice to the Oregon House of Representatives. He distanced himself from President Donald Trump.
Brown is confident a large Democratic turnout - and Independent Party candidate Patrick Starnes dropping out and endorsing her last week - will translate into victory.
Buehler said he’s been busy through the weekend. Monday, the day before the election, was no different. He kicked off his day at a Tigard coffee shop.
“We're going to fly from Portland to Eugene, to Medford, to my hometown of Bend, and end up with a big campaign rally at our headquarters here in Portland,” said Buehler.
He said over the last 10 days, he's made 30 different stops in nine counties.
Governor Kate Brown has been busy as well. Over the course of just a few days last week, her campaign knocked on more than 100,000 doors.
On Monday, she planned to spend some of her time in Eugene.

Amnesty International has announced a longlist of 85 shows for its Freedom of Expression Award 2015. The Award, now in its 12th year, is made to an outstanding artistic production with a powerful and inspiring human rights message at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Naomi McAuliffe, Amnesty International's Scotland Programme Director, said: “We want to see productions that inspire, inform, engage and sometimes terrify us by their powerful depictions of human rights abuses. This year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival programme proves once again that human rights are right at the heart of the arts - we cannot wait to see the inspirational shows selected for our Freedom of Expression Award.
Amnesty celebrates freedom of expression during the world’s largest arts festival through the Freedom of Expression Award and a programme of free Imprisoned Writers events every day of the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
The organisation's 2015 Edinburgh Festival Campaign is for imprisoned cartoonist 29-year-old Atena Farghadani who was sentenced in June to more than 12 years in prison in Iran after she was found guilty of charges including “insulting members of parliament through paintings”. Her trial lasted just half an hour and the only 'evidence' against her extracted under interrogation. Amnesty is calling on Iran to release her and asking members of the public attending the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to sign a petition for her release.
* The Freedom of Expression Award judging panel comprises: Joyce McMillan of the Scotsman, Neil Cooper of the Herald, Catherine Love, freelance theatre critic with The Stage, Stephanie Knight; an independent artist-researcher, and Naomi McAuliffe, Amnesty International’s Scotland Programme Director.
A new road which links the A5 with the M1 via a new junction in Bedfordshire, will open to traffic tomorrow morning (May 11).
The 2.8 mile dual carriageway, which will be open by 6am, will become part of the A5.
The new M1 junction 11A, which will connect the new road and Central Bedfordshire Council’s new Woodside Link road to the M1, will also open at the same time.
The scheme includes two other new junctions and six new bridges.
The M1, which has had lane restrictions during the construction of the new road, will have been restored to full capacity by that time, including the use of the hard shoulder as a traffic lane at peak times.
Drivers should note that the national speed limit will apply on the new, dualled section of the A5.
Drivers are urged to take extra care as the road layout has changed with the introduction of new slip roads and the new junction. With the renewed use of the hard shoulder as a traffic lane, overhead message signs on the M1 will also start displaying variable speed limit messages instead of the temporary 50 mph speed which was in place during construction.
The new road replaces a section of the A5 through Dunstable which is being handed over to Central Bedfordshire Council and Hertfordshire County Council.
Some minor work including the completion of new sign installation will need to take place after the new road is opened and the old section handed over to the council.
Market are now near their highs of the day.
Stocks had an ugly start this morning with the Dow down over 100 points. But they have been roaring back and are flat for the day.
Reuters reported that Republican House Speaker John Boehner is optimistic that a fiscal cliff deal can be reached with President Obama.
This is in contrast to yesterday when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he was "disappointed" by the lack of progress. Reid's comments were followed by a sharp sell-off.
If Congress is unable to make a deal, a series of tax cuts and spending programs are set to expire by the end of the year, potentially cutting 2013 GDP by as much as five percent.
A homeless man in Florida and a truck driver in North Carolina have died since the tropical storm began hammering Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas Friday with heavy rain and winds.
A man, left, surveys flooding and storm damage in St. Marks, Florida, and residents, right, look at a broken road in Alligator Point, Florida, Monday.
At least two people have died since Tropical Storm Hermine, downgraded from a hurricane, made landfall in Florida.
When it first made landfall as a hurricane, Hermine was the state's first in more than a decade. It has since blasted through the South, threatening to restrengthen and lash populated areas along the eastern seaboard through the Labor Day weekend.
A homeless man was killed in Ocala, Florida, on Friday when a tree fell on top of a tent he was sleeping in with two other people, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
On Saturday, high winds in North Carolina caused an 18-wheeler truck to tip over on the freeway, killing him and resulting in a total shutdown of the road, according to the Associated Press.
Hermine made landfall early Friday in Florida, knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of people.
The storm has left 15 Florida communities without power, Gov. Rick Scott said in a statement on Saturday. In Leon County, more than 78,000 people, or 57% of the population, do not have electricity.
"It is a problem that so many people do not have power and I fully expect every city and county official to aggressively fix this," Scott said.
More than 100,000 people are also without power in neighboring Georgia, the Associated Press reported. The storm also knocked out power to 76,825 customers in South Carolina.
A woman walks past boats that were washed ashore in in Steinhatchee, Florida, Friday.
Hermine weakened as it moved over land and by Friday afternoon was located about 35 miles southwest of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
The storm was packing maximum sustained winds up to 50 mph and was dumping heavy rain on the area.
In Florida, the storm dropped up to 22 inches of rain in the Tampa area as heavy rain bands battered the state for days.
A resident points back to his home as he speaks with law enforcement officers using an airboat St. Marks, Florida, Friday.
The National Weather Service issued flood warnings throughout the region.
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe also declared a state of emergency, urging people in his state to "limit travel as the severe weather arrives and evacuate if recommended by officials."
Forecasters warned of "a danger of life-threatening inundation" Friday and Saturday in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, with water rising as much as 5 feet. Dangerous flooding could also affect coastal areas on Saturday and Sunday between the North Carolina-Virginia border and to Bridgeport Connecticut.
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory both declared emergencies in parts of their states.
But the worst may still lie ahead.
