They have cut the police service to to the bone, what happens crime WILL go up, no doubt about it, you will have people that will commit crime to support there families - ie shoplifting, burglary. You will have people get depressed and take there own lives.
They introduced this stupid Bedroom Tax ( like they did with the Poll Tax, just to bring in extra funds).

They have hit pensions, they have put this country into further recession, they are cutting the welfare bill, that will hit so many.

There have been calls for taxation that the rich will pay more, there have been people that have admitted that they have avoided paying tax.

They have NOT once said that will create jobs by investment int this country, that will provide jobs, They have said that we will create training schemes - for what, there is no work out there for these people to go to.

They are paying companies (with our tax money) to take on unemployed people to do 'voluntary work, this WILL NOT create a job.

Figures do not come into the true fact that the poor and the vulnerable are being hit by this government, and they cannot answer back.

There was a story along with a photo in a media paper, where it showed Osborne and friends having a party where they were paying £300 quid for bottles of wine.
While I don't, in general, agree with what this government is doing.

It's worth pointing out that at least two things the government is doing are designed at least partly with the idea of creating jobs.

These are the building of HS2 (which I seem to remember you complained bitterly about) and the measures to increase lending to first time buyers (which, IIRC, you are complaining about elsewhere on the forum).
