Debt advisers to go in government cuts

BBC Breakfast are still trying to run the story I am guessing Egypt and the Cyclone in Australia are dominating all of the news at the moment, I'll give them their due they do seem to be trying. I bet the government are hoping it gets buried never to re surface. MC

There's been lots on Radio 4 this morning :T

But the article that our CAB managers promised would be in the local paper this week (seeing as they wrote it 10 days ago) isn't there

Unfortunately this is typical of this governmants policy, they do not care about the vulnerable they only care about making the books balance, working in the public sector I can see whats comimg, care workers, teaching assistants are being slashed, the least well off are going to suffer the most.

Those who voted for this governmant are getting what they deserve.

Looks like our bureau is set to lose about 25% of it's paid staff to redundancy in the next couple of months now..

They did have a short piece on the BBC Breakfast this morning and I did see a short piece on the bbc London News a few days ago.

Hi all -

Recent article in the Guardian that speaks volumes on the potential insanity of it all -

http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2011/feb/01/debt-advice-funding-axed

Good luck to all our colleagues in the CABs up and down the country and lets not forget all the other agencies and good people who are affected by these cuts.

And thank you again all you good people on here for your fantastic support, it really is appreciated.

The message is getting around and through.

But are they listening?
