I usually agree with you somewhat on these issues, Al as I don't think anybody is against making sacrifices if there is an urgent need for it. WW2 and rationing is an example where we would all agree that money needed to be saved, but if you look at the data, austerity was clearly never about saving money. The national debt is rapidly rising and it was only ever an ideological attack on the poor and needy. If bankers had gone to prison and serious reform had taken place, then people could understand a time of austerity while everyone buckled up and muddled on through, but the elite haven't made any sacrifices.
People were never all in it together, but people have been thrown under buses, and no changes have been made to improve society. People are worse off than a decade ago and fat Dave and his Eton buddies haven't contributed a thing to society. They are actively destroying it with their nearsighted, blinkered, ideological disconnect from the real world. They are constantly looking for war, will frack the country into the stone age, and are in bed with the money lenders who don't create anything except debt and misery.
It isn't only the needy, but many, many people who are growing up only to discover that the system is a deplorable wasteland. Instead of investing in people, we are preying upon our people. Graduates will have an average of 45,000 pounds of debt upon graduation and will never be able to afford a house. 'If you are sick we will stamp on you. If you are smart we will stamp on you. If you are my Eton buddy, we will stamp on them together'. There is nothing Christian about any of this. It is positively inhumane. Medieval Christians knew about helping others and weren't allowed to be money lenders. Looking at Dave, there is nothing Christian or charitable in the man and he loves money lenders.
I'm sorry for spoiling this thread with a rant. It was only going to be a sentence or two, but the anger at these public schoolboys spilled over. I really can't stand them.
