Like spoilt children, they didn't complain when the money was being spent - under Labour - by both the government and the Eeeevil Bankers. No, they accepted their pay rises and increase in perks without comment. Where was the money coming from? Does it matter?

Now the spoilt children have run out of money and think that this is not fair as... money should be infinite, right? The best way to complain about spending cutbacks is to waste a vast amount of money on protests in London and making a big bill for policing the event.

Spending on the elderly? Don't make me laugh. They want spending on themselves who are the only gorup "in need" they really care about:

GPs having to work to 65? Already complaints at having to work for the same length as others.
Police paid a hell of a lot more than Firemen / nurses / teachers? Police union want to compare to Lawyers and Doctors, not to soldiers who are in more danger and earn less.

That they don't even see the hipocracy in accepting years of a budget deficit in boom years and only post hoc making a fuss only goes to show either how selfish or how blinkered these lot are.
