Hi stratos, Now that the cutbacks are starting to bite here in the UK, we are beginning to see the same sort of response, with every government department screaming that their budget should be "ringfenced" and pleading that they cannot operate with any spending cuts. The strikes are starting too, as state paid workers are revolting against changes in their wages and pensions. In fact the journalists at the BBC have walked out on a 48hr strike, so there is no major BBC news output on TV or Radio. Firefighters have also gone on a 48hr strike from today. People in every country just want the problem to go away, or at least for it to be solved by others, without it adversly affecting them. Normal human behaviour IMO. This applies especially to the Politicians who will guard their salaries and pension rights to the death "because they are special people" and need to charge the state to pay for for second homes and furniture and plasma TVs and holidays to to South Seas for "research purposes", whilst encouraging ordinary women and men to be part of "The Big Society".... which basically means doing the jobs of Librarians, Social Workers etc in their spare time after work that were normally done by workers for a salary and thus saving the state money. cheers, Ron
