I agree with you, many threads are on-going and worth keeping up with as they progress or regress, whichever the case.
I have noticed that BarryW has not made one single comment on the "Under Occupancy" this thread has had a re-tread, as he put it and has been resurrected several times.
As he is so very much supportive of these types of cuts, it would be great to hear his views on the subject, so I have resurrected it again to give him a chance to respond to it?
GaryC - I have not read that thread. I do not read them all, time issues prevent that.
I am in favour of public spending cuts full stop - the only exception being Defence for reasons I have explained before. The burden of public spending is intolerable and not sustainable for a healthy competitive economy, that is fit for purpose. We need spending cuts and I will not be against any of the only too timid measures taken to date, other than Defence of course.
I am particularly in favour of cuts that reduce the benefits bill and removes the incentives that stop people working. If that is what you refer to then so be it.
This though, is not about specific issues, or spending cuts.
