Exactly my point.
We are nothing like Greece, thanks to the Tory government getting us back on our feet.
Anti austerity cuts are needed to keep us as a Counrty getting stronger.
More employment, more money in your pay packet(at last) less taxes to pay.

You are right, we are not.
From the Bank of England, the CBI and other economists now there is already a small downgrading of expected growth over the next few years at least in the UK.

I expect early next year a change again of targets to come from George Osborne as to his estimated expected growth figures too.

When the austerity cuts were implemented after the last election, the recovery and growth disappeared.
Now he is off again, doing the same thing, implementing severe austerity cuts quickly after the election.
So really all powers that be help the weakest in society.
