BarryW & PaulW.
No, my last post was not blinkered, if you both put aside all your figures and quotes and pure political jargon and read my post again, you will see it was in response to Barry's reply to Marek's #9, post.
The ordinary person, were swayed away from Labour in the last election, many 18/20 year olds, because of Labours inapt way of dealing with the expense's scandal and bankers bonus's, coupled with the promises, made, at that time, by the Tories and the Liberals. Thousands of voters are not interested in day to day politics and only interested in its effects. Whether you are right or wrong about who is to blame for these scathing cuts, those same people will only remember who are implementing them. As I said in my post, regardless of fault, people will notice that it is the poor, elderly, sick and unemployed that are bearing the brunt of these cuts.

Gary, my post was reality not politics, admitted by present Labour front bench.
It hits everybody.
Some may be able to weather it , others will suffer, whoever is in power.
Frankly I'm more interested in getting the country back to stability for my family & yes if I suffer personally for taking the tough decisions , so be it.
I've got other things to do with my life other than politics.
I wouldn't wish the alternative on you.

we will have to wait and see if currenty policies are getting the country back to stability, more importantly growth.
at present it does not look to be imminent.
the british retail consortium say that high street sales are seriously down which indicates a lack of confidence from the consumer.

Paul, my post was also reality; just ask Mr or Mrs Normal in the street and I have already agreed the last Labour Gov was at fault.
I do not agree its hitting everyone. That's my prerogative.
I get and agree with "Some may be able to weather it, others will suffer, and whoever is in power"
I don't get the rest of your post?
You seem to be indicating that I want you to suffer and I am criticizing you personally?
I wouldn't wish the alternative on you?
What does that mean?
I have never wished something bad on you, your family or anyone else and never would, I thought you knew me better than that Paul?

Not surprising Howard, costs are going up due to fuel & commodity prices + vat increase.
Tough times ahead.
Real cuts don't hit until after April.

Gary, I did not take your comments personally.
I just made the point we will all be suffering & I personally am prepared to take quick short severe pain to long lingering chronic pain.
If it affects my political career for taking those decisions, so be it. It is for the greater good.

all true of course paul so where does the stability you speak of come in?
there are no signs that the people from the public sector are in demand by the private sector.

The biggest danger the economy faces is the failure to cut public spending enough.

You have opened a can of worms there Barry.
The greatest danger to the Conservative vote is that the figures begin to look good but there is no growth in employment. It is one thing to go all-out to please your paymasters/pals, but if that is all you manage this incompetence could leave the country once more in the hands of Labour.
What a double-act the Blues and Reds are, pity they each fail miserably to raise the slightest chuckle from the voting public.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

They are cuting back to much to soon ,and that will show at any By-Elections and the locals in MAY, BUT CARRY ON IT IS A GREAT HELP TO UKIP. And it could end up with the blues out of power at the Dristrict in May.
