Repsonse to Comprehensive Spending Review

I am appalled by the austerity measures announced by George Osborne, as reported this week. And even more specifically apalled by the reaction of our, so called 'leaders', locally, to those measures.

The cuts announced in the spending review will do nothing to reduce the national debt, and they don’t come close to achieving the abolition of the deficit by 2015, as has been reported.
