  Reprehensible views, come off it. The big difference is that I do not see public spending as always uncritically good and realise that every penny taken by government is obtained from the private sector. Public spending is not done efficiently and much of it is for no good purpose and if anything drains the economic health of the country. I want a more prosperous nation from which everyone will benefit, I want people to keep more of their own hard earned cash and to have more of it with the ability to stand on their own two feet. So is that reprehensible?
  
  Perhaps you think it is reprehensible not to be blinded by the claims of the Trade Union leaders who really are self-serving and politically motivated. The current lot being inheritors of a Union tradition that destroyed whole industries in the 60's and 70's preventing British industry from moderising by their restrictive practises while scaring off any new investment by their militancy. Their stupidity all in the guise of 'protecting jobs' resulted in the destruction of thousands of jobs when the subsidies on which they depended simply could not be sustained.
  
  What I think is reprehensible are the irresponsible Labour/left attitude to tax and spend - time after time driving the country into economic crisis destroying the wealth of this country. Economically unsustainable fiscal policies are a cruel deciet on the less well off.
  
  I also find it reprehensible to force and keep people in servitude to the State by creating deliberately a dependance on state benefits. How else would you justify the handing out of taxpayer benefits to people with an income of over £50,000.... All done purely for political reasons by intellectually corrupt Labour governments who pose as wanting to help the less well off while in reality their policies achieve no more than destroy their asperations, motivation and ability to improve their lot, even when they may have good motives for those policies.
  
  Yes there is a massive gap between us Mark.
  
  Rant over....
