If the Country doesn't have the money , it doesn't have the money. No amount of fiddling around with the Budget is going to hide that fact. New Labour tried to increase immigration to increase productivity and try and grow the Country back into the black, the Tories have taken more of a austerity approach where they cut public services and reduced welfare spending and spending on the NHS.
Both approaches are flawed and hurt the very people who are expecting the quality of their lives to improve. Nobody has really gotten to grips with the unpaid tax issue of Big Banks and Multi Nationals. There must be billions of unpaid tax owed to the treasury but the Tories are all in bed with these Companies and will not risk upsetting them. Meanwhile another year and public borrowing continues unapaced forever increasing our national Debt to record levels. The rich become richer and poor become poorer and the middle classes the tax payers are promised jam tomorrow but tomorrow never comes. bottom line we are not a wealthy Country and cannot afford to project ourselves as one. We should as a nation should have a serious debate about our place in the world and question our spending on Trident and our massive outlay to the EU. Meanwhile the immigration game has failed with the infrastructure and services of all our major cities hopelessly clogged up. It's a mess and it's getting worse, and taking 1p off a pint of Beer is no real solution.
