Here's the scenario. The Tories take power. The Tories pass their slash and burn budget. The economy tanks as predicted by the IMF, OECD and assorted Nobel-laureate Economists. An even bigger cut is needed.
So the public sector gets eviscerated. At the same time money is found to cut taxes for people earning 6 figures, for messers Osborne and Cameron in IHT, for big banks via Corporation Tax, and big business gets its NI cut. And fires people anyway.
Not ll the public sector , I should imagine the army and police will be spared.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0
