Sorts make Britain's enjoy their new austerity.

We get to be the trainwreck.

You have reached the point of unintelligibility

This is what you get with tax cuts for the rich.

This is what you get when you allow, even encourage an economy to be fueled by credit while shipping your jobs to other countries.

It isn't rocket science.

Nope. A Brit sees how bad it is in the US and then does not feel so bad about cuts in the UK-- because the UK could be the disaster that the US is- even tho it already is.

No, "Sorts make Britain's enjoy their new austerity." is not a coherent sentence. We're more looking at Ireland & Spain and thinking we're better off, if we're looking at all or just moaning....people are aware usa is a different kettle of fish. The UK could not be, and isn't...the 'disaster' the usa is.

Right so eat your cutbacks because it could be as bad as in America.

Where services even during good times is spotty/snip

come again? Like UK is the beacon of public services? HA!

And yes- while it is a different kettle of fish- the UK is every bit as doomed as the US maybe more-so. Sorry -- but it is true- your country has been gutted and outsourced just like we have. Hooray for the banks- (NOT)

Not only are you no longer coherent, you don't appear to be understanding responses.

The government cuts essentials like police and firemen and teachers while it continues to fund artist and seals(or deer or eagles) they do this to scare the people into accepting more taxes.

at least one part of that article was wrong, Clayton co. did not cut all the bus service, they only cut it back. so what if they cut every 3rd light or cut off the bus at 6:15 that's better than no service and its better than cutting the police. We must cut something, better to cut the non essentials.
