Comments on: Government Cuts Without Discussion or Consultation 2011/03/28/government-cuts-without-discussion-or-consultation/ London MEP European Parliament Tue, 01 Mar 2016 16:57:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Daniel Oxley 2011/03/28/government-cuts-without-discussion-or-consultation/#comment-4272 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 17:33:07 +0000 ?p=14183#comment-4272 The Labour Party opposes every cut. They seem to be in denial about the extent of our collective debts. They are so vast that if every house in the UK (from the humblest studio flats to the largest Stately Homes) were to be sold the money raised would not be great enough to cover our financial obligations.

There are alternatives, in which those who have caused the crunch shoulder their share of the burden, but this would be anathema to the Tory establishment.

Consultation is just an excuse to hide behind – Labour never took any of the hard decisions it should’ve taken. Although Alistair Darling was honest enough to come up with a budget that atleast tried (belatedly) to address the issue of the deficit.

Please be honest – how much money are we already paying in interest to service our debt? Under Labour, we would’ve borrowed even more. Do you even know how many more nurses and policemen we could employ with that interest? Do you think borrowing is free?
