Finally, Gord says the “C” word

Gord is off to Scouserland to attend the TUC in Liverpool, and the rumour is that he will use the word he has been avoiding for so long-CUTS!

Of course Gord has refused to admit on several occasions that Labour will have to cut back spending. Instead, he has maintained Labour would carry on "investing."

But with his record of U-Turns this is not really unexpected; he manages to dig himself into holes galore with statements such as “there would be "a zero" per cent increase.” and “find greater "efficiencies" to help tackle the deficit.” When he really means that he will cut “public spending”.

The unions are opposed to cuts “Congress rejects the notion that the solution to the economic crisis, and the resulting national debt, must be found in public spending cuts which damage services, freeze public sector pay, or cut pensions and benefits,”

The prince of darkness has put his pennyworth in “Lord Mandelson indicated in an interview that public sector workers may have to share in the coming austerity.

Balancing the budget will require “a new public spending shape to take into account the new climate and the new reality,” he said. That will mean “responsible pay deals” for the public sector.”

New climate? New reality? Two things that his unelected “Lordship” does not share in, living in opulence and with no worries about his finances, he continues to insert himself into the electorates’ nasal passages on a regular basis.

They promised a “summer of discontent” a while back, but it looks as if it will be a winter of strikes.

Thank you Gord, call a general election now, let’s gets you out, but the snag is who will take over.

There is a joke going round about Gord: "I though I saw your name on a loaf of bread today, but I looked again but it said "thick cut" "
