To have any kind of a sustainable society at all, living standards are going to take a massive tumble. The average person will not be buying a new car, going abroad or wasting their time. They NEED to be doing something productive with most of their time - leisure time included. Growing a garden, repairing clothes, picking berries, home brewing and so on so they can maintain, rather than forgoing fruits, wines, beers, nice clothes, decent veg and so on.

People need to get on and look after themselves, rather than basing how they feel on the mathematics of a nation.

Now that I agree with... BUT people find it hard to stomach cuts and make do and mend for themselves, when they see the powers that be not doing the same.

I agree people should try and shift for themselves, though humans are a species of lazy bone idle ne'er do wells most of the time so getting them up and going whilst somebody else is doing the work for them is not likely to happen any time soon.

And when it does they'll only shift far enough to take what they need from somebody else who's trying to better themselves...

It breeds resentment, anger etc...

Not directly but contributing factors in...

These are the things that helped Hitler come to power way back.

These are the things that led to the French revolution.

these are the things that led to the Russian revolution.

Why should pensioners suffer after most having the work ethic and worked their whole lives by having free travel removed?

Isn't that the least they deserve...

No extra heating allowance...

Care pathway when they are ill...

What about the good boys and girls at school seeing the Ars* holes getting treated better than them and taken on trips to "improve" their poor home life...

What about the good person in life that gets punished more when caught for doing wrong because "he should have known better" and the Ars*hole doing the same getting let off or reduced sentences...

Anyway I'm rambling now but this country is in shit state order through no fault of most of its hard working, moral populace.

HOWEVER, We are now being asked to suffer cuts, and save billions in Government spending because they misspent it in the first place.

Should THEY nit have their money cut down to 15,000 a year. with minimal expenses?

I'm sure then you'd see actually how many politicians actually wanted to be in politics "for their country" and not the money.

Parliament would be empty I'm sure.
