These days I feel I have a fair overview of day to day opinions due the supply of electricity being one of the absolute universal levellers, and so I like to call a spade a spade, a coalition a fool’s paradise and a marathon either too much effort, or Snickers. With this access to both prince’s and paupers, I was not surprised to hear yet another real person today stating that they think that we are not all in this austerity thing together as the Big guys would have us believe. The couple’s situation today is one that I have heard an awful lot, with the breadwinners self employed business gone down the pan and into bankruptcy due to everyone cutting back on non essentials and then the trauma of trying to find new work, reduced salaries and spiralling debt. On top of this, the couple’s young family poses yet another dilemma with the incredible cost of childcare, genuinely making the prospects of returning to work for one half of the couple like stepping into financial quicksand.
So I have listened to all sides of the argument, and accept that we do need to address the problems head on, but surely the current Con / Dem fixes are just too quick?
