In 1983 a poliician said, knowing a Tory victory was to come:
I warn you.
I warn you not to be ordinary.
I warn you not to be young.
I warn you not to fall ill.
I warn you not to get old.
The politician was the then little known Neil Kinnock.
He was right.
This time it could be worse, as Jonathan Freedland graphically describes.

Given that the only thing we know for sure is that every main party has refused to say where the majority of cuts will come from, I’m not sure the same fear doesn’t apply to all outcomes.
Oh, one other thing. In the debates Gordo said that capital spending could drop because once you have built a school or hospital you don’t need to build it again. But surely, with PFI, they haven’t paid for the ones that have already been built. Or am I missing something?
It would be good to get public pension and PFI liabilities out in the open early in the next parliament, so we can at least understand what’s going on.
