AS THE Tories meet in Manchester to set out their plans to take the UK back to 19th century it is clear that Cameron and his elitist government have got working people and public services fixed firmly in their sights.
What we will see this week are Tories applauding the cuts to in work benefits that will leave 13 million workers worse off by £1.350 a year.
There will be no talk of the £2 billion deficit in health funding (when it comes to the NHS the Tories are deficit deniers).
There will be no mention of the planned action by Doctors against the Tories attack on their pay and conditions, the first such action planned by Doctors for over fifty years.
There won’t be a mention of a recent survey of teachers that found 53 per cent of teachers plan to leave the profession in the next two years.
What we will see is a party driven by a far right ideology unconstrained by coalition that has abandon any semblance of fairness and equality in favour of dismantling our public services, while taking form working families, the old, disabled and the young to give to a tiny elite who fund the Tories.
