@ Zorro.."Cameron is actually quite a good guy""...good guys dont set out to send the country back to the 1920's. And i don't see any tories as good guys,never have never will. If you want to see them that way do so, you obviously haven't been fucked over by them like millions have.

I've been fucked by the Tories and fucked by Labour, if I had a choice, which I do, I would rather be fucked by the Tories, which I am. God bless democracy.

Don't start me or I'll be in hospital with excessive blood pressure !furious! !ambulance!

All we hear is cuts and more taxation, there has been no effort to cut the billions being squandered on

School and hospital PFI schemes.

Outsourcing of NHS supplies and care in the community.
I used to work for a very profitable company that supplied the NHS and while of course nothing has changed I am far happier having moved jobs so no longer directly associated with this.

Railway franchise negotiations, management and the inefficiencies of a fragmented system never mind us being the laughing stock of the world with many franchies being run by foreign organisations including other countries state railways.

even more proposed Post Office privatisation and a statement that enquiries from foreign organisations will be welcome.

the increased cost of fuel from the privatised utilities as well as no investment in new nuclear stations.
( Nuclear of course has risks but currently there are no other sustainable sources of power that can deliver our requirements - we need to generate enough electricity not just for our current and growing needs but also to replace gas and oil for heating )
The alternative is we go back living like 200+ years ago.

the cost of social housing due to the sell off of council housing.

locally it is proposed to close council run care homes because they cost a third more than the private sector. If the care standard and facilities are really comparable the council homes should be more cost effective as no profit element plus economies of scale purchasing food and supplies.

these are of course just a few examples .......
