The Coalition has No Mandate for Cuts
In the general election 65% of people voted for parties opposed to cuts this year. The cuts will only deepen the recession and make recovery more difficult. Together with similar measures across Europe they risk a prolonged world slump. Unemployment in Britain is predicted to rise above 3 million, and vital services will be slashed.
The City Council, the Health Authorities, the Civil Service, and the police all face cuts of 20% over four years. This has to undermine front line services. The private sector will also suffer, as many firms are totally dependent on public projects and finance.
There is an Alternative
-
Tax the rich and the banks
-
More and Better Services not Less
-
Increase pay to match inflation
-
Create a million “Green” Jobs
