they won't have to look after the old and vunurable anymore. the old and vulnurable will understand that they have to go without for the sake of the country.
I think at the moment people are ok about it as it's not actually affecting them. but give it time and who knows what will happen.

I think it's fair to say that that is highly unlikely and there is nothing to suggest that it may be the case.
These policies have a lot in them to try and mitigate their impact on many of the most vulnerable.
Again also note my comments on the scale of these cuts, for all the comments about how massive they are the only reason they are massive is because of the amount of extra people and money added to the public sector. They are only rolling the state back to where it was in 2006-7 which, again, was hardly doom and gloom time.
