We should all beware what is in store for us in the New Year.
This so-called coalition has no mandate to pursue its programme of cuts, as it is a minority Government.
Also, it has no mandate to stay for five years. This is undemocratic. I don’t remember a vote being taken for a period of five years.
The problems of the underfunding of the health service will get worse. From what I have experienced, people are waiting for MRI scans, and overworked nurses are on low wages and working in poor conditions.
The £78billion on Trident could well have been spent on healthcare.
The financial crisis was not brought about by working people, but by greed and inefficiency of the privately- owned financial sectors.
We should take a leaf out of the books of people of France, Spain and Greece and make our voices heard in the forthcoming months, when the increase in Vat takes place.
