As the coalition Prime Minister and his Chancellor prepare to tell the country that they are going to make severe cuts in order to close the countries £156 billion deficit. I hope he will bear in mind that the rich has no belt to tighten.
There are more poor people living in this country than rich and it does not matter which way you cut it the people who are going to suffer the most are the already vulnerable of our society. It will be the children, the old, the unemployed the weakest of our society that will bear the brunt of any cuts to public spending.
Mr Cameron said that the proposed’ cuts will be felt by each and every Briton and the effects could last for decades’. But he has to bear in mind that irrespective of how great the debt problems are, the ensuing cuts will not affect the wealthy in the society, so they can be isolated from the hardship that is going to affect poor people like me, in the years to come.
I am not suggesting that he should do nothing to close the debt gap, but I am reminding him that whatever decision he make to to tackle the problem the poor will be the hardest hit. No amount of consultation is going to prevent that fact. Irrespective of what he said about carrying the country with him during the period of tightening our belts. The stats are not in his favour, clearly there are a great deal more low-income families that depend on Government hand-out and any thing that affect the amount of hand-out that is given will be felt.
The only good thing that will come out of his speech to the country is the warning that our lives is going to be dramatically changed in order for the Government to effectively deal with the debt crisis that the country is in.
