I heard the first serious comparisons being made between the economic situation now and that of the thirties last night. It was on newsnight. I’m not an economist, and I couldn’t understand everything they were saying, but for then to draw that comparrison struck me as worrying. No doubt as osbourn’s cuts begin to bite, we’ll slip back into recession. without money going into the system, how can money come oout of it? The ‘big society’ will prove to be the nonsense anyonee with half a brrain can tell it is, and before you know it the economy wiill drop lower than it haas done in seventty years.

This is very worrying. desparate times bring forth extremwe ideas: in the thirties, of course, it brought about the rise of fascism in europe, and already we’re beginning to see that happening again, albeit not to the same degree. As a member of a minority, I’m starting to worry history might start repeating itself unless the economic situation starts to improve. As the cuts bite, peoople will turn away from democracy and become more extreme. They will point to the coallition as weak aand indecisive, and there is no telling what will happen then.
