Government aims to divide and conquer

I WISH to commend Fergus Finlay on the first balanced article I have read on public service cuts (November 17).

It goes some way in renewing my faith in journalism as opposed to the lazy, sensationalist drivel being produced by some of his colleagues in your publication and many others.

The simple truth is the Government which people blindly kept returning to office in the “good times” is responsible for where we are today. These same people are again blindly accepting the misrepresentations being put out by this same Government. They should see the approach for what it is – divide and conquer.
