David Cameron, in the lead-up to George Osborne’s emergency budget today, tells us the deficit cannot be reduced just by tackling the rich and benefit scroungers – public pay, perks and pensions will be the main target of cost-cutting measures.
Is it too much to hope this will include MPs’ pay, perks and pensions, which the public forks out for?
It had better do, or there will be rioting in the streets, or would be if we weren’t British.
It makes you proud, doesn’t it?
