Today it said, "WIDEN THE GAP" Yesterday it was, "PRICE ME OUT OF EDUCATION"
They repeat the word fair as if that'll take up more space than the figures they've announced. Deeming the cuts made yesterday 'fair' when the bottom half of the population lose 3x (0.03% to the richest half's 0.01%) as much as the top half when they are on a knife edge anyway, having to rephrase measures brought in by Labour to make the 'lines go in the right way' is not fair. It's shady. And it's lies.
Cheering as you announce the biggest cuts this country has ever seen. Well that is just absolute and pure fucking evil. Making up random figures for what Labour 'might have' cut, is arbitrary and to be frank, Daily Mail politics.
"We have seen people cheering the deepest cuts to public spending in living memory. For some people opposite this is their ideological objective. For many of them, not all of them, this is what they came into politics for." - Alan Johnson
The fact is that we cannot allow these maniacs to run our country into the ground. I wasn't alive for the 80s and I can see what effect that had. What did people expect of a Conservative government? What did people expect of voting for the Lib Dems and their right leaning leader? This isn't someone else's fight, it's your jobs and education and ability to buy a house or make clothes or art or become a writer. We cannot let this happen, it's our generation that will take the force.
All these figures are from Channel 4 News. You can watch the report here. And please, if you are British especially, please watch it. This is not how a country should be run. In what way does it make sense to pull the carpet out from underneath the bottom? The idea of how many people abuse the benefit system has been wildly overestimated and you're scrutinizing the people that need the money most. These are the people that cannot support themselves and did nothing to cause the deficit in the first place, when for the people that did all that's happening is a little more tax here and there.
How can that be called fair?
PS. I'm sorry if you don't care, or you're not from the UK, or you were only here for pictures. But this is important and it effects everything from British fashion to culture to education. It's everything and everyone.
