Well I don't like it when the police think they can tell jo public whatever they please to suit themselves.
However, there is a reason why I wasn't at the anti-cuts rally, it's because I believe the cuts in the public sector are long overdue.

Governments should understand that it was a mistake to export our industry, they should be bringing more work here (including wrestling our industry back from the far east, is possible) and therefore they'd have more workers paying more tax.
I empathise with the protesters that the cuts aren't balanced, and the government isn't taking it's share of the cuts - at least I haven't seen evidence to back up their claim that "We're all in this together."
I feel the western governments should be doing more to ensure we never see a repeat of the recent financial crisis, and also to ensure those who caused it are paying their share for their mistakes. I haven't seen any evidence to suggest this is happening. Which tells me this whole episode is doomed to be repeated at some point in the future.
But for now at least, the cuts are necessary - the lies aren't.
