You keep badgering on about cuts Arthur, yet you still don't get it. There is a massive MASSIVE black hole in the UK's money pot.
Come back to reality, if you work a month of no overtime, you get less money, so you have to scale back what you spend in that month, this is a CUT back, unless you choose to use your flexible friend. Labour kept on spending, spend spend spend and then they spent some more, all on the nations flexible friend. As you know with credit, it HAS to be paid back, with interest.
This is where we are now, after 13 years of Labour's spending spree, the money they borrowed now has to be paid back, unfortunately, that means CUTS. If we don't curb the debt burden then our future generation, that's your children's children, will be left with a massive debt mountain, hardly fair, don't you think?
The other issue is that if we do not take hold of the nations finances then we risk going through what other countries are going through, do you recall the Irish needing a bail out? Greece's credit rating being down rated? And now Portugal approaching the EU for an emergency bail out. Do you honestly want this to happen here?
While you are also going on about other countries getting money from us, it's about, 'If we scratch their back, they will scratch ours' only this is through Trade. £650 Million whilst to you and me is a massive amount of money, in UK Export Industry terms, it pales in to insignificance.
I don't like cut backs any more than you do Arthur, but like you and like me, when we become broke or money becomes tight, you, me, we live within our means and cut back on some of lifes essentials. This is equivilent to what the Government is doing now.
