You've probably not noticed Ted but the whole world has been hit, many like Greece & Ireland far worse than we have. Do you really think ANY government of any creed could have escaped this worldwide crash unscathed? Labour may have been inept but you can't imagine them proposing cuts deliberately targeting those less well off.
With inflation rising (with interest rates sure to follow) and unemployment also on the up, we're once again seeing the Tories for what they are. However thankfully it will be short lived as as sure as eggs are eggs they'll be kicked out at the next election.

Yes, Greece and Ireland far worse than we have.However, the vast majority have been hit far less than we have, largely because of the failings of our own Government highlighted above. I also beg to differ regarding the Conservatives beinh kicked out at the next general election.By whom are they going to be replaced ? It ain't going to be the Lib Dems, who are virtually finished as a party after surrendering their policies just to get a small portion of power, and it ain't going to be Red Ed and his bunch of Trade Union buddies, because the thought of a lefty government scares the hell out of normal minded folk.No, we've all got to pull together and ride out this storm, and we've all got to make those little sacrifices to help make a better Britain.
