sing a re-worked carol; for the infamous pedants, words originally by Christian Rossetti, music by Holst, 1906 :
1. In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
The economy stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Jobs had fallen, jobs on jobs, slow on slow,
in the bleak midwinter, long ago.
2. Our Osborne, heaven cannot hold him, nor the UK sustain;
Lib Dems and Labour shall flee away when he comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter a stable No 10 sufficed
Smoothy David Cameron, O Jesus Christ.
3. Bankers and Ministers may have gathered there,
Consultants and Pressmen thronged the air;
but Samantha only, in her maiden bliss,
puckered the electorate with a kiss.
4. What can I give George, poor as I am?
If I were a farmer, I would bring a lamb;
if I were a voter, I would do my part;
yet I know I can vote him out, the upstart.

They should come clean.
The cuts are more ideological than strategic. We were told savings from the cuts would clear our debts. They haven't, they are climbing as steeply as they were under Labour. With the unfortunate side effect that they have smoothered any growth in the economy, leading to a double dip recession, inflation, decreased tax yields and a reduction in full time jobs.
They are failing big time. But they will not consider any other option. Not because there isn't one, but because ideologically they are don't want to.
