Crosser Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Simple answer.... "Appeasement"................... It didn't work in the '30s and I don't think it's going to work now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennpickard Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Any cuts will be connected to budget issues no doubt. The Police Forces and the NHS are very serious issues. The government should be explaining any changes in budgets thereto to people through the mass media, with information updates, including detail that the average citizen can follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiseOwl182 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 NHS is a protected budget, it's not being cut. Crime is falling (if the state are to be believed) and moving online, fewer police are needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 who are we appeasing? Every second and third rate country in the world, it seems. Foreign aid should be stopped. We don't owe anyone anything. Concentrate on making this country the best in the world and then maybe we can think about helping other countries.

Concentrate on making this country the best in the world and then maybe we can think about helping other countries. Do you actually know what appeasement is? Go and look it up. Unfortunately as one of the richest countries in the world its made an international commitment to providing foreign aid. Britain likes to see itself as a world leader and cameron likes to ve seen in that light. Stop making promises and basking in the publicity if you cant keep them.

JFKvsNixon Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Lets put things into perspective - in 2014 the UK foreign aid budget was 1.4% of government spending, so 98.6% of our government budget wasn't spent on foreign aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osborne's great trick is he convinced enough people that he was doing it for deficit reduction whilst at the same time he give away huge amounts of the money 'saved' in tax cuts to big business.

The government should be explaining any changes in budgets thereto to people through the mass media, with information updates, including detail that the average citizen can follow NHS is ringfenced, so no cuts, but with an ageing population and more medical treatments means there will be more demand. Government doesnt have to explain tbh they won the election and they cna do what they want. 17000 officers went last time and they expect 22,000 to go in the next round. Min cuts for the Home office will be 25% and max 40%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
