Actually nothing surprises me now with announcements of this nature.
This Govt. is pushing the blame for all ills on the people at the lower end of the scale.
The unemployed, the sick, the disabled, the poor, the most vulnerable.
Easy people to bully and humiliate and whip up anger against because it requires the State and funds from the State to help them and support them.

Everything they do with those groups pf people is 'they have to conform to this or lose their benefits'.
No understanding, no compassion and no fairness employed as to policy either.

However, a bright sign on the horizon for me, was this sounded a defeatist speech,not a bad one but a defeatist one, by a man who is at least now thinking he is already defeated.
He has nothing to say as to the rising energy bills, today Eon I understand has said it will be removing the over 60s tariff for customers on it which will mean rises again for them.
We hear not a thing from this Govt as to when big business cons and virtually robs their customers.
They just allow it to happen.

I will be stunned if this Govt wins in 2015 and now for me, I hope they really get booted out.
The Conservatives need a really good new leader,someone who will listen and demonstrate real understanding with the electorate and also who is willing to compromise too.
Some leader who will show also respect for peoples dignity and not hammer them into submission and even more hardship.

Labour are far from perfect in their ideals but they will bring fairness back and compassion to these welfare policies,I do believe that.

The Lib Dems, well if they wander the political wilderness for another 80+ years after this Coalition ends then that is fine by me.
