tinfoilhat Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Not sure. Unions were banging on about "the same old Tory cuts" before they'd even made any. Not saying I have the answers but I trust union top brass as much as I trust mps and bankers ie not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I notice that Sheffield's new council is about to reverse the funding cuts to the Graves Art Gallery. I wonder where the £200K to fund this will be found? We haven't been told yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCOnoob Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Both out of touch and offensive. Maybe they'd like to take their argument to the pensioner who has just had her meals on wheels cut, or the school who've lost their crossing patrol or the parent of a disabled child denied respite care or the policeman/soldier/dwp worker out of a job. Obviously too busy buying stupid stripy shirts to care about real people. Out of touch? Offensive? So its alright for thousands of lefty great unwashed to have their protest against the cuts but a few right wings who want to have their say are suddenly classed as Offensive! The right to protest works both ways. As for your examples. I would quite happily advise the pensioner who has had their meals on wheels cuts on the alternative suppliers they can use. I have a disabled relative and respite care is still avaliable last time I looked and I would definately happily advise the ex civil servant who has lost their job about how to find another one. Its not hard if you put the effort in. You can do it on the internet and everything these days. Not everyone who supports the cuts is a rich fat cat tory. I was made redundant from a public funded job but I got on with it. It was a choice between losing the whole service or redundancies to excess baggage from the staff. I was one of them. I worked hard searching the agencies and jobsites and got another one...... magically, life managed to continue.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melthebell Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Has anyone heard of a word called "balance". If its all left wing, or all right wing....it wont work. We need balanced cuts, balanced taxes, and balanced spending..... Ooh finally a balanced view, i was just giving up hope of finding one. Screw the left and screw the right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree I’m not rich and support the cuts and would support more cuts, my kids work and support the cuts, and they don’t think they should pay tax so that the unemployed can afford a house, something they can’t afford. Councils and government are making cuts yet RMBC can still waste money moving a 30mph sign, 30 meters down the road, the sign had been in the previous location for as long as I can remember, over 20 years. Its new location makes absolutely no sense. That’s one on thousands of things that could have been cut, but councils prefer to cut the things that are headline grabbing.

Green Web Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 It's all about ego massaging.... The extreme right have Muslims, benefits and immigrants, whilst the extreme lefties have Global Warming, cigarette smokers and BME worshipping, it provides both self-righteous herds with endless dosages of hysteria, superiority, outrage, fear, doom and point scoring.
