Budget Cuts!

[Hetairoi]

I have just read a brief resume of the budget cuts and there are massive cuts in all departments except Foreign Aid which will increase to £11.5 billion by 2013 which equates to 0.7% of national income!

Why should Foreign Aid be exempt from the cuts?

3.5 private sector jobs lost for every one public sector job loss..

Stafford has a 43 per cent public sector workforce

It's a long standing UN commitment for wealthier nations to contribute 0.7% of GDP to aid.

You may think we are no longer a wealthy nation. In which case may i suggest sub-Saharan Africa as your next holiday destination. And not a safari.

Given the current fad for equating everything to the 'household budget'; with your £100 would you begrudge 70p for a cup of tea guv?

 

[tek-monkey]

When those on benefits can afford sky subscriptions you cannot consider us anything but a wealthy nation.

Who stands up and lobbies for mentally ill ?

Cuts in NHS services in mental health are taking place right now despite Gideons rhetoric, now these poor people ( one in 4 of us come into this category ) will have little money or help . Expect to see more beggers, suicides and starvation alone amongst the seriously mentally ill with chronic conditions

Apperently the area around Martin St in the town centre looked like that

But in colour...

 

[CuteStaffsGuy]

Is there an 'anti-lewis' movement then?

They also showed later some fella from the council, a woman from the CAB and a local business owner, the lady from CHIP's down the side of Maccies.
