It might be time for us in the UK to have a France moment.
They have really shoved it to their government that neoliberalism dressed up as a response to a fiscal crisis created by capital is not going to wash.
We have in the UK uncritically accepted a need for cuts which are entirely due to the recklessness of the banking sector.The need to bail out the banks and the decline in economic activity and hence tax receipts have given us a huge defecit.
The response from the condems has been breathtaking so far they have implimented a neoloberal government reduction programme. They want small government and this is their excuse it has nothing to do with economic circumstance but political dogma.
They will throw this country back into recession if thats what it takes to get their dogma through.
In that they are just like Thatcher, trash the country to get the result that pays you.
Ultimately though, these "we are all in it together" millionaires will never know what it's like to live in a sink estate and have your benefits cut.
As I said - time for a France moment and say, no actually, we didn't vote for this, we never agreed to bail out the bankers, we believe in proper public services that are not run for profit.
It's our money we want it back.

Comment from the Breton Bread seller in Hay- its Anti-Sarko demonstrations
Yes but at least Sarco was elected.
Cameron was a minority choice standing on manifesto he has not gone on to deliver but produced another like a rabit out of a hat.
He has power because Clegg sold all the party's principles out to be a puppet in government.
We have far more reasons to go out and throw bricks around.
