Shame on us

Economists, The Bank of England,  The World Bank, even the UN warned that the UK's austerity measures were too fast and too steep. And now the ratings agencies have confirmed it.To make vicious cuts without any measures for stimulation cannot work, it is simple maths. The people in this country have been bled dry and are suffering,  of course they are not going to spend money! The number of job cuts announced weekly is staggering.This govt play with statistics and claim unemployment is declining, bollocks, only an idiot would believe that.Meanwhile they spit in everyone's faces and continue to ensure tax cuts for the rich. In times of recession, belts must be tightened, that goes for the rich and the big corporations,  but the government must take up the slack. Why continue to pay money on huge welfare costs as everyone loses their jobs, spend it instead on major infrastructure projects, create jobs and build something solid with the money? Housing, railways, power projects to name but a few. This govt are  criminals, so far removed from everyday life in their ivory Eton and Oxbridge towers they think they are untouchable and treat the nation they rule with contempt. Shame on them and shame on those who put them in power. Yes, other countries are also in trouble, it was a WORLD recession after all, but it is how the UK drags itself out of that world recession that is the point.We are now entering a triple dip recession, the only developed nation to do so.
