come on now MJ - surely an out an out socialist like yourself hasn't been sucked in by the utter BS being spouted by this coalition government who are really using the bankers mess to raise some extra tax, feck up the welfare state and shaft the people ... do you really believe we are skint??? ... £11bn bankers bonuses this year ... £20-60Bn for trident replacement and associated costs ... £20bn for electrifying the line from London to Birmingham ... how much for the wars of the last decade? ... £30-50bn subsidy for wind power production over the next 30 years (£1.1bn this year alone) ... etc etc
if they really wanted to 'save' the £85bn they could have shelved lots of capital projects and stuck 1p on the basic rate of income tax - but naw throw in some soundbites like "we'll all have to take a hit" ... say it often enough through the media ... and most will absorb the BS and, worst of all, believe it.
country ain't 'skint', sheridan deserves to be in the dock ... 'nuff said.
