I thought I better remove myself the the UK budget thread to create this one, in which I peer over the Coalition with a critical eye, a glass of brandy, and probably a smoking jacket of some variety.
Are they radical? Goodness yes, but not entirely beneficial in my view. They have a decidedly old World approach for the 'new politics(tm)', almost Victorian when it came to the whole 'social cleansing' issue that cropped up over the last week. If anything, they're just riding on the overwhelming hate for New Labour, while claiming the growth figures (left over from Brown's spending surge) as 'proof' of their economic plan working until they can actually figure out how to stimulate it enough to compensate.
Anyway, first up;
Dirty deals and special interests.
Coalition commitment to the greenery of the country is in doubt after forestry sale, not to mention the damage it could cause the lumber industry.
Study undermines Coalition's claims about housing benefit.
