(not satire unfortunately – it’s the UK today!)
The Tory/Lib Dem government liked to bang on all the time about the need for fiscal responsibility.
But how fiscally responsible was it for the coalition to subsidise big banks with £37.7bn of taxpayers’ money every year while at the same time insisting it had to make £20bn of cuts to the NHS to balance the budget?
Is it only me doing the maths here?

Who would you prefer your tax money to go to – bankers or nurses?
Please feel free to comment and please share. Thanks.

Cutting everything is where Osborne’s getting the money to give to the banks, that and borrowing. It’s not supposed to make economic sense, it’s simple theft.

We forget that NONE of the coalition clowns want or are happy with the NHS and it’s freedom of access. No, what the Fascist pigs want is a pay as you go system, can’t pay? Oh dear how sad never mind just die, us Fascists don’t want to keep the poor sick and ill people alive if they can’t pay. Always remembering that the creeping privatisation aided by cutbacks is largely owned by large corporations for whom care assistance and treatment are behind the need for profit. Make no mistake this Fascist organisation thinly disguised as government, does not want an NHS. Evidence? Look at Ian Duncan Smith, Atos, DWP and the increase in suicides up to over 4000 a year and which is rarely discussed or challenged, and requests for related information is regarded by those swines in the DWP as vexatious, (can’t be bothered nuisance request)
