Politicians milk it while vulnerable get fleeced

On Tuesday we heard that unemployment across Europe has once again increased and now stands at 26 million souls. Why has it increased?

Could it be that the austerity measures introduced by many governments across Europe have failed abjectly? Our Government — and others — seem unable to make the connection between taking more and more money out of people’s pockets and the subsequent loss of employment. In simple terms it’s because there is less money around to pay for goods and services.

In this country, we know why the coping classes, the lowly paid, the disadvantaged and those unable to stand up for themselves are being savaged by this government.
