The trouble is the country and therefore, by definition, the coalition
have been dropped in the **** by Labour.

Thirteen years when the ever escalating costs of public institutions
like Network Rail, the NHS and the education system could have been
addressed by reform were instead wasted.

Now with the bailiffs at the door there is simply no time to do these
things in any sort of considered way as the mathematics are driving
everything far too quickly.

Ever increasing amounts of our money were simply ****ed up the wall on
the back of the arcane ideology of a bigger state, by whatever means,
is always good and now we are left with five trillion reasons to show
that it’s actually bad, very bad..

However, the coalition would do well to remember that fare rises for
tax-paying commuters are really tax increases by any other name.

It is absolutely vital that public sector spending cuts should carry
the biggest burden of economic pain during this financial crisis not
tax increases.

Cameron has rightly already identified tax as the biggest risk for
potential public unrest not spending cuts.

We are not the French but, make no mistake, many times in recent years
governments have been reduced to near panic by public outcry but it’s
never been over spending cuts, always tax, just think employer’s NI,
10p tax rate, fuel duty and the irony of the poll tax bringing down
Maggie.
