An old blog from 2010.
As we brace ourselves for the most vicious cuts since the War, i would like to correct a few lies, yes blatent lies, by this Con-Dem Government.
Lie one: That the UK is close to bankruptcy. Absolute nonsense, just to scaremonger the electorate, to accept the cuts without a whimper. Lie two: They never knew the deficit was that much, that is the biggest lie of all, not more than four months before the election, they were saying the deficit would be one hundred and eighty three billion (1.83 trillion) pounds by the time of the election, and not one hundred and fifty seven billion (1.57 trillion) pounds, as it turned out to be. Yes Vince Cable and David Cameron sang from the same Hymn sheet on this, and every comment since when asked questions, started with the same old rhetoric, like a stuck record. Lie three: This is the only way, and they have no choice. This proves to me, that it’s just an Ideological process, and that propped up by the dummy Libdems, that they haven’t the brains to even consider other ways, of which there are many. A government full of Amateurs. Lie four: We are all in it together, true meaning “we want to hit everyone, and take this country back decades to the dark ages of Thatcherism and some more. Lie five: They will clamp down on cheats, a utter untruth in anyone’s language. What they really mean is to clamp down on benefit cheats, no matter how many innocent they hurt along the way, while certain cabinet ministers can still use the Caymen Islands to dodge their rightful taxes, yes even the Chancellor himself, not to mention all his buddies around this country. Robbing this country of billions upon billions. Lie six: This is the only way to get investment towards growth, it’s a disaster for growth. You don’t put over a million on the dole to create growth, neither do you cut a leg off to learn how to hop.
