[Margaret Pilkington]

Nowhere have I made excuses for this government....remember I didn't vote for any of them(as you are fond of reminding me).
I could not choose a party that I felt was up to the job......the party that are in power are there because the general population felt that the Labour party had let them down.

I haven't, as far as I am aware, lectured anyone either.......the only thing I have done is recognised that it is going to take some very stringent measures to get this country back on an even fiscal course.

As for the Experts.....well surely Mancie you do not think that the government ministers make the decisions as to exactly what cuts will go ahead......they haven't got the expertise to do that. They rely on professionally qualified and impartial advisors.....this does not of course mean the Generals or the Forces Cammanders because they are not impartial are they?
