I think that it is only too easy to view the upcoming changes and implications with a blinkered view based on how it affects us as individuals. So far the changes mean little to me as I have never relied in any way on government handouts but I truly fear for the general implications to others because if masses of people are affected the impact of their anger will control everybody's quality of life.

Apart from the almost certain hundreds of thousands that will lose jobs in the public sector it looks like the cap on the social safety net will disrupt potentially hundreds of thousands more (nationwide).

The stress creating social implications could easily be eventually coming to a place near you and I. The misery endured by my generation through the 70's and early 80's look like nothing compared with the outcome of the coalition plans.

There is no doom and gloom predictions on my part but straightforward cause and consequence. It is not possible to withdraw the financial lifeblood from what may turn out to be millions of people without backlash and at times it could get ugly.
