The ConDems are sending some unusual Christmas cards:
At least 100,000 public servants will receive grim news over the Christmas holidays or soon after as councils, police forces and other public services race to meet a deadline of 1 January to formally announce job cuts.
So kind of Dave and Nick.
And not one of these job losses is necessary — and every one will give rise to further job losses in the private sector.

This is just the beginning of the downward spiral in this untested economic experiment. It seems to me that the Coaltion do not recognise or prefer not to recognise that in the UK we have a mixed economy and that the private sector is heavily reliant on the public sector for contracts. The policy to export more looks fine on paper but do we really produce the type of product required in the emerging economies? At particular stages of development the requirement is for plant and equipment and I am afraid that Germany is far superior to us in this respect hence their excellent track record in exports. We need a major rethink about our economic development, an economy based on McDonald wages is hardly sustainable in the long term.
Our industrial base has been so destroyed, if we are ever going to get back to growth we obviously need to have an industrial plan. That’s never going to happen with the cons in charge.
This is just the beginning of the downward spiral in this untested economic experiment.
This is not untested, its just a rerun of the eighties, except with a smaller asset base to begin stripping. The coalition may be idiots, but they know what they want.
All that export stuff is strictly PR.
