Evening,
I am writing this whilst watching the Dirty Mancs, no doubt to their utmost to connive some result over in Istanbul, the weather over there is apparently humid and hot unlike over here where the first significant rain of the autumn have somewhat dampened the atmosphere down here in Deepest Kent.
Meanwhile, up in Liverpool, Chairman Brown finally said the word that the country knew had to be said. And no, it wasn’t a admission of guilt on his part…
Chairman Brown said that there was going to have to be some form of cuts in some way of form. Brown being concise, he did not say where these cuts were going to be but nevertheless there would be hard times coming for us poor people. Whereas the only time the speculators and risk-takers should be doing, is some jail-time…
In fact Chairman Brown’s exact language was…
"cut costs, cut inefficiencies, cut unnecessary programmes and cut lower priority budgets"
In which case, what is inefficient? What is unnecessary and what is lower priority? That is the sort of language that normally ends up being played out on the streets of St Paul's', Brixton and Toxteth…
There can be no doubt that there will be the need for some form of cost reduction programme in the not-too-distant future. Britain seems to be heading out of recession, probably by the end of this quarter, which will be good news and bad news, as once out of this quagmire, the real problems begin as no doubt whoever comes will have to raise taxes. Talk about being given pig-sty to sort out…no wonder Brown is doing his utmost to lose the coming election, he knows just how bad the books are…
So, with cuts in public spending almost a given, is the clouds of doom rising above us, and are we going to be heading towards another showdown, circa 1978 between the Unions and the Labour Party. And we all know, where that left us…
