Comprehensive Spending Review Scam
Passing Shopper | 08.09.2010 06:14 | Public sector cuts
The Comprehensive Spending Review (AKA as the Bonfire of the Benefits) will report in October. The timing of the report is a cynical attempt to recreate the political conditions of the 1980's.
When September Ends, the Tories and their lackeys will annouce the bonfire of the benefits: the welfare state is abolished and the NHS will be privatised.
Getting over the apparent sensationalism and stereotypical language of that statement might be a little much for some people. The truth is the Tories will announce all of the cuts that they already announced in May.
The summer has been a constant drip drip drip of rumour, innuendo and half truth. In part this helps the Tories to gauge how fast to dismantle the welfare state and give commonly held assets to private investors. Yet, they could have announced all of this in May.
The timing of the Comprehensive Spending Review is ideal for having everybody (that is all the Non-Bankers, Non-Tories and Non-Shareholders) placed into a reactive situation during the winter. That recreates the appearances of "the winter of discontent". Which creates a huge propaganda structure for the Government in the dismantling of the welfare state and disposal of commonly held assets for disposal to private investors.
The Global Financial Crisis has been touted as all manner of things. Above all it has been touted as being important. For such an important thing, the Condems have take their time actually responding to the situation. Perhaps it is just cynicism, but it seems the timing of the Review is irrelevant to the cuts that everybody knows will be imposed.
The Condemns have been announcing cuts all summer. Indeed, huge numbers of programmes were cut the day the walked into office. European investment was cut dead within of fortnight of taking office by closing the Regional Development Agencies. Curious that the Government is refusing Billions in finance from Europe at a time when billions are needed. 60% of regional development funding could be obtained from Europe - except the Condems have cut the 40% that they would be expected to pay dead.
Many people have commented on how this is a return to class war. The truth is that the new Labour extension of Thatcherism was a lull. All Cameron has as policy is recreating the 1980's. The first step is the "clever" step of ensuring the battle takes place in winter so that the wicked Unions will pile the bodies high in the streets by having the Spending Review in October. What Cameron forgets is that the Cuts have been spun for months. People recognise the spin and know what the Cuts are to be. People should also be made aware that the cuts were already announced months ago.
