Now, that's stating the obvious a bit, so lets just add in some other things to the mix.
* A tightening on council spending with massive reductions across the board.
* Pay freezes across the public sector.
* Increases in the price of gas, electric, petrol and diesel.
* Food price increases and the increase of VAT to 20%.
* Benefits cuts and cuts to Social Care.
A lot of this was mentioned last year and in true British style we chose to ignore it 'til it landed and we would deal with it then. Well, it's landed.
And don't think the interest on your savings are going to help you either. Walking past a well know building society the other day the window proudly boasted " Tax Free Savings". Great. Tax Free on just over 1%, where do I sign up. Let's be honest, we're better off keeping it under the matress, it's safer there.
So, most of us are going to struggle to make ends meet. I can live with that.
What I can't live with is a certain group of people who's ends meet like a mother fucker, yes, i'm talking about "Bankers."
We need to face up to the fact that while on the surface it looks like the government has a hand over them, it's also a fact the the hand they have over them is open and awaiting handouts.
An evil we are told is a neccessary one. Is it? Are you sure?
Let's face it, the banking industry is nothing more than a money making club, all based on a pyramid scheme. (Pyramid Schemes being illegal in any other industry)
I don't fear the banking industry fucking off abroad for one minute. 8 months after Vince Cable promised to get the banking fraternity back to lending to small businesses nothing as happened and it's business as usual at HSBC, Lloyds, Barclays, Royal Wank of Scotland et al where a couple of weeks ago it was disclosed that the multi billion pound bonus culture was still alive and kicking, and where it couldn't be circumnavigated, wage increases were put in place.
And what are they getting bonuses for? Yeah, you know.
Do you remember the riots that spread across the country in the 80's?
Well, they're going to be making a comeback over the next year or so.
And don't think they're going to be like the old word of mouth and printed leaflet affairs back then, oh no, they're so last century. This time around they'll be organised on facebook and twitter and I fear more than a smashing of windows and the odd fire in the street will be on the agenda.
But don't worry, the frontline services won't be there to stop you, they're facing cuts too. In fact, this time around you may be standing side by side with a police officer, an ambulance driver or a fireman. All have seen their work conditions and wages change drastically over the past few years.
So, at what point are you going to Snap?
