Grit your teeth, there’s a big freeze coming!

The current cold spell is making us all shiver, but as the major parties wind themselves up for a General Election this year, the money they’re spending will look positively balmy compared to the cuts and wage freezes that whoever wins will try to enforce in order to pay for the folly of the bankers.
The chilly blast of austerity will be felt by us all in the shape of cuts to public services and wage freezes.
However, the Scottish Socialist Party believes there could and should be some more welcome cuts made, including:
- Nationalisation of all banks, bringing the obscene bonus culture to an end.
- All MP’s and MSP’s to be paid an average skilled worker’s wage.
- Withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and Iraq. These campaigns currently cost billions each year, and that’s without counting the appalling loss of life.
