The daily lies

Each day the BBC covers Fleet Street's front pages and gives bried description of what each covers.

I look at this each day, mostly so you don't have to. But also to find out what the main parties, or mostly, The Conservative Party's attack line will be.

Mostly it is about the Tories plan to abandon its decade long freeze on benefits, which was done, let us not forget, was to tackle the nation's debt. Only austerity managed to massively increase it instead, slashing services and benefits whilst distributing wealth to the wealthiest, on the promise of trickle down wealth.

Had the Tories wanted to, they could have admitted this folly policy 5 years ago or more, but they want to penalise the poorest in society, because, in the best analogy I have heard, the financial crisis in 2008 was caused by Solihull having too many libraries.

Like the cutting of cash to legal aid, benefits and social care costs was done on ideological reasons, untested and untried, because they wanted to.

Now, in order to win an election, they have to promise to change. And the magic money tree is being harvested again.

But worse than that, if Brexit happens, tax revenue will fall much further, so more cuts will have to be made, or tax increased just to maintain its current pathetic levels. With the Chancellor refusing to allow an impact assessment be made on Johnson's WA, although educated guesses can be made of the impacts, the Government refises to acknowledge them.

So can make unfounded unfunded spending claims, and the media just repeat it.

Of course, Labour does the same thing, as Corbyn wants Brexit too, promising to nationalise this, pay extra that, whole delivering a Brexit that will take hundreds of thousands into unemployment, cut social funding.

Sometimes I feel like I'm one of the few sane ones here.
