  GaryC - there is no option but to implement the cuts, indeed I have argued many times that the government are not cutting fast or deep enough.
  
  If the cuts are not made, if the government keeps on spending as it does £5 for every £4 of income then the economic consequences will be catastrophic for everyone including Roger's brother. It is no exaggeration to say that we would soon be in Greece's position.
  
  I have every sympathy for individuals who are in difficulties but their best chance is a healthier economy in the long term but they do have to get through this first. In fact the reason I want more cuts faster is to get through the pain faster rather than have it long drawn out.
  
  I know and understand how Roger feels and how people have difficulty understanding this but the minimum wage and tax credits, combined with lax immigration, are all part of the problem here holding down 'flattening' incomes.
