  Keith - you have to live in the real world and make difficult decisions that will be painful to some. The financial mismanagement of Labour requires massive cuts in spending.
  
  The simple fact is this - businesses cannot be expected to suffer all of the pain of this recession. The more of the pain you thrust on them the greater the longer term damage to the economy, the more difficult it will be to get back to sustained growth. It is only the wealth creating private sector that can power this country out of this mess and the more burdened they are by high taxation necessary as a result of high government debt the worse things will be. They are also burdened increasingly by rules and red tape.
  
  They need to be relieved of this burden and that means massive cuts to Government expenditure and a reduction in the role played by Government in our lives. So yes that does mean a lot of public sector redundancies - its in evitable. The 'freed up' wealth creating sector can do what it is good at producing profits and expanding, those 'redeployed' from the public sector will then be able to get employment in the wealth creating side of the economy to their benefit.
  
  We need to go backwards in order to progress and get out of the problems. Simple.
  
  If you cannot understand that then that reflects the weakness inherant in Labour Governments, they always forget the importance of the wealth creators.
  
  We are approaching what is starting to be called 'the post-beaurocratic age' as a reaction to the way UK PLC has been run over the last 12/13 years. We will have smaller leaner fitter Government that will employ directly and indirectly a lot fewer people and we will not expect the Government to do as much as some expect now. It the way of the future.
