We have had 10 years of austerity by the Tories which has been ideologically driven. They pretend it was because of the Labour government mismanaging the economy, even though it was a world wide recession caused by banks, and they wanted to reduce the debt.
The impact it has on me is privatising the probation service where I work. Moving from a public sector worker to be in the private sector is horrible. They are only interested in profit and have no values. I have seen many experienced workers leave after many years of working in an organisation they loved. The government now have admitted their mistake to this experiment having wasted £500 million.
The criminal justice system under austerity has resulted in losing police officers, less people being charged, courts closing and people who should be in prison released because they are full.
I was also chair of children's charity for 15 years which supported the most vulnerable children in society. The poverty, social deprivation and health needs for these families increased over these last 10 years. We had to close the scheme this year because of lack of funding. These families have to rely on food banks, have debt, and become homeless because of austerity.
Tories are spending now because there is an election and will hope people forget about their past record.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
God bless you Master, thank you for admitting that the government wastes money. Here I was thinking you only thought they withheld money, no, no they waste it, yes indeed all governments do it even Trump's government wastes money perhaps/perhaps not at the Executive level, but on the whole, yes they WASTE money.Originally Posted by Master
I look at the Paris Climate Accords, I see America making headway in addressing emissions and I see China saying "We thought we were going to top out a few years ago, but nah, we need to emit more CO2 for the next decade or so" and then I wonder who audits where the funding for this deal goes? Who decides it's being spent right? And isn't it odd how Congressmen can be paid 6 digits but wind up being multimillionaires in a matter of a few years? Isn't it odd how THAT happens? Worth a gander? Worth a discussion? Naaaaaaaaah, just stick to type straight white european males are horrible and all need to die because of the sins of their ancestors.
Yes Master all spot on mate the blame rests with the Tories no doubt.
I work for local authority as you know it has been devastated by cuts.
Education social services to name but a few roads etc the list goes on.
Bloody Tories just renamed cuts as austerity every time they are in power they cut nothing new.
