Social services which have been prominent in the public eye over recent years (for awful reasons), and neurological conditions like his late son had?

May I also take this opportunity to applaud Cameron and Osborne for not making firm statements about what they will cut, and where, when they have not yet had access to the detailed information that only the Government can possess.
The well-worn complaint that their plans lack detail are a complete and utter red herring. |
That's a very good point Chris, many people have complained about the lack of publicity or the lack of details of Tory policies in the past, while forgetting that most policies they've come out with are nabbed by Labour and then implemented badly (the cynic in me says that's because Labour want them to vote against their own ideas as the reasons behind opposing a bill are rarely dwelled upon) or they simply cannot have access to the information while in opposition.
