  This government has brought in policies never put to the electorate at the election just one/half years ago. eg privatising the NHS/cutting public services/attacking pensions/creating massive youth unemployment!!
  
  Well done to the strikers who decided to 'make a stand' today!!
  
  The Tories like to divide/rule and they want to split private workers from public workers by playing the 'jealousy card.' All workers deserve decent pensions!!
  
  Why doesn't the Tory/Lib-Dem govt:
  
  a) Scrap Trident nuclear missile renewal : cost £100 billion?
  
  b) Scrap lots of money being spent on Royal Jubilee celebrations in 2012?
  
  c) Place a 'Robin Hood' tax on banking financial transactions (of 0.02% per transaction) which could bring in £billions?)
  
  d) Demand Vodaphone pay its unpaid tax bill (and othjers do so too?!!)
  
  e) Close down loopholes allowing tax avoidance/tax evasion?
  
  The 'austerity' measures of Cameron/Osbourne/Cle
  
  
  gg have been a disaster. No growth-millions out of work-cost of living rising-incomes reduced and...a double-dip recession STILL on the horizon!

  It could also be said that the unions are dividing the nation with their strike action today and are doing more to disenfranchise people who work in the private sector.
  Some of these things you suggest, such as Vodafone's tax bill and Jubilee celebrations haven't changed since Labour were in charge, so why it's specifically the Tory/Lib-Dems helping out their mates, or doesn't that suit the unions view?

  It's not the Unions who are dividing the nation, that's all being done by the Government, it's the oldest trick in the book; divide and rule. Don't fall for it, join a Union!"
