In its drive for 'deficit reduction' at any cost Cameron's government has turned its back on the genuine cases of poverty, hardship and homelessness that blight our country. The number of persons depending on food banks has risen to staggering proportions, while this government stands idly by and cuts welfare payments, introduces the 'bedroom tax', tells individuals who are clearly unwell that they are fit for work and yet anticipates a 10% pay increase when other public sector workers are told to accept 1%.
This is supposed to be the season of goodwill to all men. I don't see much of that coming from Cameron and his cronies. This article from The Independent says it all:
