Tories Cheer, We Fear…
And Lib Dems cheer as well of course. What are they thinking of…?
The most noticeable fact about the cuts is the unseemly gusto with which George Osborne announced them and the cheers with which Tory/Lib Dem MPs greeted them. It is one thing to believe that you have to make savage cuts: it’s quite another to do so with unbridled enthusiasm and little apparent thought for the practical results of your actions.
When hundreds of local authority social workers or care assistants are sacked and their clients suffer because of these cuts, and when benefits are denied the poorest and most deserving, we will remember those whoops of delight from the Lib/Tory coalition and understand the kind of people to whom we have given control of our society.
Largs Labour Party on TV….

Here is a link to the section of the show that features Largs…
Nice pictures of Largs and some of our local members…
