politicians and lies
It's interesting to note how easily politicians tell lies. A recent example has been Mr Cameron who has said how difficult it was to cancel the building programme for schools. Of course it was difficult it was one of the easiest things that the government could have done and save a lot of money very quickly, there is no thought involved and you simply playing the previous government are having set the program up badly. What he means by difficult is that it might become popular this is a very different proposition from signing it was difficult.
A difficult decision is one where there are many possibilities and one is unclear as to which is the correct policy decision. It might be that one is unclear as the outcome of different decisions though one is a clear about what objective. This has become a common and abusive language, to say that something is difficult when you mean it might be unpopular. Many businessmen use this when they are trying to sack people or to reduce the service is being provided, that is to claim it was difficult rather than they'll get criticised for making the decision.
Another interesting example of politicians telling lies is our local MP one Simon Wright. I have just received the local " Liberal Focus" which claims to tell us what a good job as our new MP is doing. How what they are promised is being achieved by the new government which is now a supporter. What he doesn't tell us is all the things that are being done it didn't promise to do like cutting the school building programme sacking thousands of public sector workers, reducing housing benefit, making it harder for disabled to get benefits etc. Perhaps he wasn't lying publication being economical with the truth. Of course he blames the previous government and says that the situation is much worse than predicted this of course is a public sector borrowing requirement is less than had been predicted by the previous government's Chancellor of the Exchequer.
It is interesting to me to note that this Tory government, make no mistake this is the Tory government, is using the Liberals to hide behind one of the most aggressive and nasty governments we have seen for a very long.
