Telling it like it isn’t

“Austerity Kills” squawked the banners at the million moron march at the weekend just gone, ignoring a couple of small facts. No. 1: how would the morons know because we haven’t had any austerity if Britain’s public debt grew from 76% of GNP in 2010 to 89% in 2016.
    No. 2: it never touches the people who made it necessary, like Wee Gordon Broon, his mates in the banking industry and the rest of the fiscal looneys.
    It’s all very well, being weary of (non-existent) austerity, but if you’re still spending more than your income, there’s no responsible alternative. And no, Jeremy Corbyn’s Magic Money Beanstalk isn’t a responsible alternative.
