Another shortish, link based entry I’m afraid, but this one is a cracker. According to the Guardian, David CaMoron recently sent a letter to his local newspaper on Oxfordshire asking why there have been so many cuts to frontline public services. It might even be funny, if it wasn’t so pathetically sad: ”In leaked correspondence with the Conservative leader of Oxfordshire county council (which covers his own constituency), David Cameron expresses his horror at the cuts being made to local services. This is the point at which you realise that he has no conception of what he has done.” He asks why they haven’t made the cuts to back-of-house services instead. It is a stunning unintentional admission that he hasn’t the faintest clue about the consequences of his ideological cuts. The article goes on to detail how the government’s figures do not even come close to the impact the cuts have had and the devastation they have caused. Their naivite and ignorance makes my jaw drop. ”The government justifies its austerity programme on the grounds of responsibility: people must take responsibility for their own lives, rather than relying on the state; local authorities must take responsibility for their spending. But, as Cameron’s letter shows, he takes no responsibility for his own policies.” How can we let these fools continue to govern us.
