SO the Government has to make financial cuts in just about everything, cuts to Council budgets, cuts in defence, cuts in the health service.

They appear to be quite at ease with pensioners dying from the effects of the cold, They have a choice: eat or heat.

Children in poverty are set to increase by thousands even though the Government have pledged to reduce the number of children in poverty. Something else they have failed to do.

Shops, factories closing. More out of work, benefits set to be cut. Those with the least to be punished again.

As the Government keep reminding us, times are hard and we are all in this together.

I think not. Take our beloved leader, David Cameron, our millionaire leader.

I don't expect he is concerned at rising prices. Mr Cameron and a lot of his 'pals' are so well off they have no comprehension of living the life of the common person.

And, by the way, if money is so hard to come by, how can they afford billions to throw at the banks, billions for the new HS2 railway (well it will cut 30 minutes off the journey time).

And let's not forget Afghanistan, yet more millions wasted. And also the needless loss of life and those that come home with terrible injuries.

At least the funeral directors are making a living out of it.

Don't forget my fellow Foresters; 'We are in this together'.
