Severe Downturn
Friends and readers. Recent figures show that unemployment in Edinburgh and North Leith area has nearly doubled since the downturn started. These figures show that once again we will and are being hit the hardest in this recession.
Mark Lazarovicz who claimed that there was virtually no unemployment in his constituency is about as accurate as his expence claims. Of course this Community will no doubt feel the brunt of the economic chill where long term unemployment contrary to Mr.Lazarovicz’s claim will remain just that.
Those hardest to reach in the employment world will sink even further down the pecking order and we are not far from crisis point. While chancer Darling himself an expence fiddler threw money at a failed and corrupt banking system, he cut Scotlands budget allocation ,and without question hitting the poorest and weakest in our society.
This from a middle class Labour Chancellor who is first and foremost concerned with one thing and one thing only,his own career. While he fiddles the poorest suffer and working class community’s like this one will suffer the full brunt of any cuts that come our way.
Labour have sold out it’s once core support to protect the establishment and it’s way of life. While they pander to the middle classes who will desert them in droves come the next election they have stuck two fingers up to their traditional supporters. The banking system will survive the taxpayers have seen to that,but unemployment will continue to rise,but certainly not amongst the banking elite who have dined with our honourable PM at his country retreat of Chequers.
No wonder Goodwin got away with it he was on intimate dining arrangments with the PM. Labour have given up on the poor and will take their chances with the rest come judgement day.
In less than a year from now the voters many of whom will have lost their jobs and hopes will cast their franchise to elect a new Government. It seems like Hobsons choice, The failed policies of a tired and couldn’t care less Government,or the ruthless duo of Cameron and Osbourn the Tory hatchet men who will make Labour’s attack on the poor look like a ride in the park.
Who the hell wants to be a voter.
