Cutsbacks in Public Services

The cuts in public services announced by the Con/Lib.Dem Coalition Government are not driven by economic necessity but by an ideological desire by the Conservatives to 'roll back the state' and they have found the perfect cover for doing this in the shape of the Lib.Dems who, prior to the election, agreed with Labour about the need to kept the economy on life-support and to only gradually reduce the deficit whereas as soon as they were offered the opportunity of Ministerial positions they had completely changed their tune and are now happily dancing to the music of the Conservative Party.
