25%-40% cuts across government departments has caused the IMF to reduce the economic growth forecase for the UK by over 25% from 1.8% to 1.4% this year.

Cuts this size will eat into the private sector, which affects everyone and not just lazy council workers who are hard to sack.

600,000 to 1mil more people unemployed because of these cuts alone, nevermind the Autumn Budget cuts, and those next spring.

This is going to be immense, but unfelt by someone who owns a £6mil house and who's personal wealth is over £26mil, like the current PM.

Road projects cancelled. Rail projects cancelled. All at a time when the construction industry are crucifying each other with low bids on contracts. This would have meant much cheaper infrastructure upgrades, something which needs to be done to grow a country. And it would also have meant a more stable healthy economy and stability for the people of the country, housing market, banks, industry etc.

In a recession the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class become working class again.

It's all so very 1992 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Wednesday

Governments run things usually for their friends, themselves etc. Some try to do some good for all in their own "class", some for most people.

I think a middle way is needed. The money should be spent on usefull things, and efficiency should be sought.

Hospital waiting times are low right now, lets see how that changes.

Roads are the same width, but under Labour many had the old 2 lines on each side replaced with 1 line on each side. Effectively making a road 50% less efficient.

Lets see how these things change.

A wise man I know says most politicians are on a fiddle but that you can't beat them, instead you need to join them! ;-))

Romanticizing frontier gunman from the Old West and rogues from the Dirty Thirties like Bonnie and Clyde is one thing, but to declare Moat a hero?

Are we that desperate for heroes that we latch on to a cold blooded murderer just because he sent police on a wild manhunt?

There's more hero in the fellow who stood in front of the tanks in Tiananmen, more hero in Karen Silkwood, more hero in Che Guevara, more hero in the Natives that stood up to the Canadian government in Oka, more hero in the passengers of Flight 93! For goodness sake, there's more hero in that fellow who tried to lap dance on a riot squad officer at G20 in Toronto, (see the video on YouTube).

God, what is wrong with this generation?

i'm still hungry. Plus, credit where credit's due, you won't find a better use of the word pendulous today will you?

I'm going to go and eat some jelly and brown sauce. Mmmhmm

Labour lost because in 13 years they brankrupted the UK... jesus nothing like a whiny NuLab supporter to put you off your lunch :(
