It seems whilst I was away there was a bit of a demo by people who’d rather the government not make any cuts at all but presumably instead drive the country into penury as they don’t seem to be suggesting an alternative to not borrowing more money every month. Though it seems they are keen on anyone who seems to be “rich” paying some unspecified amount of tax as avoiding tax is bad (Not not evading – avoiding I.E. not paying more than you have to. I can but assume that the only way to not “avoid” tax is by giving the government 100% of your earnings). These people that’d prefer there to be no cuts at all decided the best way to further this cause would be to cause criminal damage to (or peacefully occupy) a shop privately owned by one of the worlds largest charities which may not even be “avoiding” tax to start with.
Now it seems that some dubious sorts have decided that maybe they should have a little walk to protest that maybe tackling the debt might be a good thing, and that this will sadly result in cuts. They may even consider that it’s a good idea to have a proper debate about how and where one might make these cuts. Anyway they’d quite like to have a bit of a shindig on May 14th in London, so if you feel inclined to get your self involved with such no good malcontent’s then all the details can be found over on facebook where they are proposing:
“A well mannered, polite rally for civilised people who don’t wish to see their hard earned money being spent on pointless government initiatives and instead would like government spending to actually fall and our national debt to be cut.
We don’t think that it’s fair for us to continue borrowing money to live a lifestyle that we simply can’t afford – burdening our children with unnecessary debt that they will have to pay back.”
