Isn't the 'Coalition' the pseudonym used to describe the invaders of Iraq? I have been silent pretty much since the general election because I have nothing to say that has not been said already. But I enjoyed - if that is the right word - this comment on Polly Toynbee's devastating piece on Coalition housing cuts:
This country, under the Coalition, is up shit creek; but Plan B does exist. After a couple of years, when it finally hits the fan, the Coalition will declare that it was always the 'workshy' and 'sick' who dragged the country down, and by then, their total demonization by the right-wing press will allow for even more draconian cuts and further disenfranchisement of these 'traitors' from society. You can see where this is going... but for the Coalition, there is no choice, because these categories are the only 'enemies' they choose to define as hampering economic progress. The Coalition has chosen its fall guys; and many of the most vulnerable people in our society will die as a direct result of this ideological nightmare we call a government.
