Let's get one thing perfectly clear from the start, there is NO SHORTAGE OF MONEY in this country, we just need a government that will distribute it more fairly, and not just look after those that fund their party
I agree that is needs to be distributed more fairly. I disagree that distributing it more fairly means giving rises to the NHS staff who are on incremental rises every year already. Maybe we should look at distributing some of it to those in the private sector who have had no pay increases (and even in some cases decreases) for years.
What this Govt. has done so succesfully with the help of its friends in the predominatly right wing media is drive a wedge between workers. A worker is a worker. I dont care what they do, they graft. The mindless argument between private anyour wages are lessd public sector workers has only aided the Govt. in its ability to make cuts and divide workers in the face of those cuts. Much of what is reported in the right wing press is just fucking nonsense but it adds to feelings of injustice.
The Tories stated they wanted to shrink the public sector as they had too because of the need to bring down the deficit. They have slashed and burned public services with another announcement this week that Manchester will have to lose another 500 police.
The Tories have used the Bank crash of 2008 to create there idealistic Neo Liberal state that has limited government, small tax, minimal inteference and an economy based on the wishes of what big business want, because big business fund the Tory party.
Public service has always in my lifetime been seen as an honourable thing, you may be paid less but your pension may be better and it was an honourable thing to do. You did your bit for your country not some namless big business conglomerate who could not give two fucks about this country but was only after profit.
And the Tories have done a great job......workers arguing workers whilst the rich laugh all the way to there Cayman Islands account
