Maybe not in rude health but at least fighting to keep unemployment under control. The Armed Forces' death of 47,000 cuts yesterday was only the start, I fear.
My main concern in a political role has to be Hyndburn and the potential impacts of today worry me. Frontline services in the borough are already taking a beating yet the power-that-be are preserving the administration team at all costs and throwing money away on fruitless ventures such as promoting Wednesdays in the Market Hall.
We need a country that is working hard in actual jobs, not creating more non-jobs and middle men that don't really contribute anything.
Police, armed forces, the BBC, binmen - all suffering real cuts.
The flabby old bureaucratic machine that is the civil service will be able to state on paper that 25% reductions have been made with barely any effort. The sole purpose of it is to make the figures add up, all you do is stop classifying certain roles as civil servants and there you have it.
We're going to have to agree to differ on this because I cannot see much that is good in the Tory spending model, either nationally or locally.
