Blame
Having watched the Cameron and Clegg road show unfold since the General Election, the central feature of their Con/Lib coalition economic policy has been to ignore the roots of the global Banking crisis, i.e. the American Banks and the subprime markets meltdown and say that it’s all the fault of Labour and Gordon Brown.
These Ant and Dec look alikes without the Geordie accent with their spurious rhetoric may have fooled the Tory tabloids but the people and certainly the millions of public servants who the Clegg and Cameron Con coalition have sought to demonise are not fooled by them. The cat was let out of the bag by the Local government minister, when he told the Commons last week that quote, “Those who need the most will suffer the most”
Poverty
“It is the duty of government to seek to improve the quality of life of its poorest citizen”. a quote from my maiden speech 8 July 1987. The quote finishes, “any government that does not do that is immoral”. We will read much about political morality in the week of the Chancellors Special Budget. During the election the Tories talked about tax breaks for married families. After the election Cameron and Clegg’s Lib/Con coalition are punishing families by cutting child benefits, working tax credits that will put millions more out of work. Blaming the poor for their poverty is disgraceful and punishing the poor for being poor is immoral.
