In answer to your questions: No and Yes.....

That you have nothing better to say to this than a glib comment speaks volumes.

Either the paperwork fairies have been at work or the government of the last 13 years have an absolute obsession with figures which they use to spin, manipulate and outright lie to cover up just how completely useless they are.
Yes, according to how some people post around here anyone would think Thatcher had been in power for the last 13 years.....

It's that selective amnesia again you know....

Arthur - how does "A future fair for all" rank in your list of populist, political hype?

Opposition parties getting flak from Brown and his cronies for not being explicit about where the cuts will come from is a bit rich coming from people with full access to the accounts of UK PLC, who not that long ago, were refusing to admit cuts would be necessary at all. Now of course they're trying to claim that somehow there's all this waste in the system that can be cut without pain but it can't be done now because it'll harm the 'recovery'.... Utter tosh!
