Right. They've this plan of cuts so that they can divert the money to their own pockets. Or it could be that there's a rather huge debt that we are putting onto the next generation's shoulders.
Personally for all your wittering about investment I'm not prepared to saddle my daughter with a ton of debt because I find not having the kind of services she'll end up only being able to dream of abhorrent.
The books balanced pre-Labour, they'll balance post Labour. At some point hopefully people will also learn again to look after themselves as they did before.
You've a really simple choice Arthur. Deal with the cuts or pay a lot more tax. I do mean a lot more, because right now the spending is a
lot more than the tax income.
Except we can't pay a lot more tax because if we do companies and individuals will simply go and do their business elsewhere and we lose out.
The measures you mention won't be nearly enough. Aside from them being totally contradictory to other things you say they make little sense.
Yes we need vital services, what we don't need is Labour's apparent vision of there being a public sector worker to wipe our arses for us. We will still have vital municipal services when this process is done, the NHS will not be carved up, education will still work and, who knows, once people get it through their heads that 50% of the country are simply not cut out for University and stop trying to push them there and get some vocations going the economy might end up rebalanced more sustainably.
