I WONDER why the Prime Minister was allowed to tell the huge whopper in a TV Con-Dem party political broadcast that the national deficit had been reduced by 25 per cent?

The Office for National Statistics says the deficit has gone up from £811bn to £1,111bn.

Even the IMF has told the Government to change course as we head for a triple-dip recession.

Any Oxford Mail reader who thinks it’s just the ordinary worker or benefit recipient that’s in the firing line, they'd better think again.

The propaganda war on the elderly has already begun with Lord Bichard, whose own pension is worth £120k, stating: “If you’re old and not contributing, maybe there is some penalty attached to that.”

UBS analyst, Lord Sefton, said: “Young people should be angry”, at the way they are subsidising the older generation. The likes of Duncan Smith and Clegg want pensioners means-tested, so expect many of them to lose bus passes and winter fuel allowance.

It was great to see the Tory, Anna Soubry, take a right kicking, politically, on a recent BBC Question Time.

This totally out of touch MP proved irony is alive and kicking, asking why school playgrounds weren’t cleared of snow.

This, after all the cuts in council services and as if teachers weren’t burdened enough already.

The same Tory politician who once called poor kids “skinny runts”, now says the same poor kids are “obese”.

It didn’t occur to this well-off Tory that food inflation has risen 35 per cent in just five years.

Soubry perfectly shows up the huge divide between most politicians and us, the elite and us, this despicable Con-Dem Coalition and us.
