I really am at a loss as to explain how the Tories are going to fix this "Broken Britain" they keep banging on about.But then again, I'm not alone, it seems that they don't either.
They vacillate between Senna the Soothsayer in Up Pompeii ("Woe, Woe, and thrice Woe") and Private Frazer in Dad's Army ("We're doomed") to merrily chanting "Here we go gathering cuts in May, On a cold and frosty morning".
As we know when you have cuts in the public sector, unless done sensitively, and not swingeingly, it is those at the bottom end of society who disproportionately suffer most.
The Hills report "An Anatomy of Economic Inequality in the UK" shows that the richest 10% are more than 100 times as wealthy as the poorest 10%.
Are the Tories going to set this right? Are they heck as like. They started the trend with Mrs Thatcher.
Lib Dem policies of raising the tax threshold to £10k, and the "mansion tax" on properties over £2m will benefit four million poorer people and pensioners.
What do the Tories propose? A tax cut for the RICHEST 3,000.
Get your priorities right, eh?
