Unfit To Govern

It truly amazes my how the Coalition appears to have managed to pull the wool over most people’s eyes.  How many times have we heard “we are all in it together” and we have to do this “because of the mess left by the previous Labour Government”.

Lets put the 2nd statement to bed 1st – this ”mess” was caused by irresponsible Bankers and Financiers with their reckless lending and “deals”. So to recap THIS MESS WAS NOT CAUSED BY THE LABOUR GOVERNMENT.

As for “we are all in it together” – complete rubbish – the poor will bear the brunt of the effects of the spending cuts by a large margin.  Everybody keeps talking about % as if this is what matters. If the rich, say everybody with a combined earning above £100,000 per year, was to loose as much10% of their income they would still be able afford a roof over their head and buy food for their family (if not they don’t deserve any sympathy).

Similarly for middle earners, although due to having taken on too much debt (including mortgages above 90% of property value) they may struggle, at the end of the day the majority would be perfectly OK.

However when it comes to low earners or people, who, by no fault of their own depend on benefits will suffer disproportionately and, they may not even be able to feed their family or get chucked out of their private rented accomodation because of caps on housing benefit.

As for the idea that ‘the private sector’ will create 500,000 jobs to absorb those resulting from the spending cuts.  More rubbish – this is unlikely to happen.  Why? because, for a start it is estimated that the cuts will also result in around 4 to 5 hundred thousand private sector job cuts as well.  The final ‘nail in the coffin’ of these extra jobs is the fact that, in some areas, 90% of new jobs are being taken by migrant European workers over which the Coalition has no control.

What a disgrace, when will the Lib-Dems wake up and stop allowing this carnage to take place?  Please wake up before it’s too late!
