I recently sent this letter to the Wales press. Question Time came from Cardiff recently, and the subject of austerity came up. I was not amazed to hear the same old rubbish about austerity coming from the panellists, and neither was I amazed at yet another Question audience basically not having a clue about the reality of austerity. Here is the truth behind so-called austerity and the Deficit cutting............... Since the 2010 general election, David Cameron has been using the deficit as a cover to dismantle the welfare State, and privatise the NHS, David Cameron is fundamentally continuing what Margaret Thatcher started in the 1980’s, ie rolling back the State, because the Tory right wing are ideologically opposed to the role of the State and everything attached to it, but none of this reality is being picked up by either Labour Ministers; Lib-Dem ministers; or the BBC Media. The BBC media is compliant.; The very fabric of the role of what the State should provide in tax payers money to welfare; services and State pensions; is being whittled away under cover of reducing the deficit; and there is no opposition to it.; The Tory mantra of making painful cuts to reduce the deficit is little more than a smoke screen they hide behind to implement their ideology of reducing the size of the State; driving down wages; cutting benefits ect.; My guess is that theyd make pretty much the same decisions for ideological reasons even if there wasnt a deficit.; The cynic in me says how easy it is for the right wing comfortably well off; greed infested Tory supporters to ridicule and chastise people on the receiving end of Tory cuts in welfare. And how equally easy it is for the right wing press to encourage this; just to sell their papers.; The Thatcherist; hard line; anti social policies the Torys are forcing on us all makes them feel superior. And they perpetuate the suffering while living in their comfy homes without a conscience.; The Torys pretend to care about the pensioners having to choose between heating; or eating; the Torys pretend to care about the familys wondering how they are going to feed their children today and tomorrow.; The Torys since Thatcher have been the same !; No longer a small c left of centre Conservative party with a good social conscience.; No; since the 80s they have been ultra right wing; hard-nosed; and with no compassion but to condemn the poor to a life of misery and no hope so long as they can live in relative luxury.; This is how they want it; to keep the masses under their eternal control. The Tories only aim is power and control.; For that reason the Tories love it when the economy is bad; so bad that they blame the masses of poor for it. It is malicious and insidious.; And what makes it even more appalling is that the Tories actually do believe they are superior intellectually to everybody else.; This will be their downfall!; and I hope that this will be at the next general election in 2015.; The Tories deserve to be out of office for decades to come; if only to stop their bare faced arrogance.; Food banks in 21st century Britain; is as bad as the chronic homelessness we have; the awful old age poverty; and the low waged economy the Tories have nurtured throughout their 18 years of running Britain; 1979- 1997; and I might add; New Labour under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown; 1997- 2010; did nothing fundamental to reverse any of it.; Britain has suffered Thatchers ideology for over 30 years. And the pensioners and the low waged workers are being screwed..
