Student Riots

It has never been anywhere near as bad as it is now in peacetime

What are Labour's solutions then? Easy for them to scoff at the Coalition's attempts to right Labour's wrongs but what do they suggest? Ed Balls is in favour of cuts, Darling said pre election there would need to be cuts bigger than under Maggie.

So not sure why you think the Coalition are doing it all wrong?

So now it's not "The coalition is the best" it's "What could labour do better" so when does "OK you were right, Dave Cameron is a moron" come? :)

It's true that Labour agreed there would have to be cuts, but their plan was to get the economy well and truly back on track first, then to cut the deficit at a slower and more manageable pace. Cutting this savagely and this quickly, before the private sector are placed to pick up the slack, is madness.

Labour has this crazy idea that if you started firing hundreds of thousands of public sector workers that those workers would stop spending money on houses, cars, electronic goods, food, luxury items and so on and thought that when this money stopped getting spent that it might have an effect on the economy. Funny that!

Effectively we were broke and needed to pay off our debts so we fired ourselves :mark:

So you see the public sector as a selfish and greedy then; putting their own self interests above those of the nation

Unless I'm very mistake I didn't say that. I feel that the public sector needs cuts. But those cuts needed to be gradual rather than harsh. Anyone with half a knowledge of what budgets come where in a period of government will realise that the only reason the Condem's are cutting so much so soon is that they hope to really sweeten up the budget before the next election to lure clueless tards in. If anyone is putting their interests above those of the nation it's the government.
