Originally posted by HairyArsedBloke View PostThe New Labour government are already planning massive cuts in public spending. It is in the only area they can without much of a fight: welfare benefits, and to a lesser extent, pensions. They have been manipulating public opinion, with the aid of the opposition parties, for ages. The vilification of the sick and unemployed has been growing more strident with every round. The main stream media has willingly, even if unwittedly, jumped onboard and run with it. Nearly every week we get some story or other.
