I was happy to hear that a number of mainstream economists have signed a paper stating the obvious (some from the LSE so they must be right..) They are more or less telling the government or perhaps a future one that this is not the right time to cut public spending and to do so will take us back to recession avenue only this time it will be a longer lasting and more catastrophic one and whilst it will not affect bankers on huge bonuses or Prince this and Duke the other it will more or less devastate the rest of us. So I am hoping that those in power listen to the 'professionals' and take on board the points they make. And of course I understand that what they are saying is to delay the cuts rather than abandon them but the delay will give activists more time to organise the response.
Good luck by the way to the women's conference which is held this weekend http://www.unison.org.uk/file/B4657.pdf Good luck also to Unite with the strike action against British Airways.
