Why are the Tories so afraid of making more cuts?

We need MOAR cuts.

Just because you're in a wheelchair doesn't mean you can't answer calls in a telephone centre, all you need is a headset.

They've only just won an election less than a year ago and have a majority, so now is the best time to make deeper and harder cuts, yet they're backing down at the first sign of opposition every time.

It's all very disappointing, What are they afraid of?

    Fortunately they only hold a wafer-thin majority which natural wastage and scandal will surely thin out way before the 2020 election.

    Besides, cuts solve nothing because they are the action of a deranged parasitic government. You have to trade your way out of austerity, not cut everything back so that it's too expensive to ever contemplate starting up again. There are no 'privateers' to go out and steal Spanish Gold to start the country on its path to prosperity these days.

    You just try being that diasbled person in a wheelchair, it's more than just not being able to walk and all the rest of the body and mind being 100%. Have you ever, or do you know someone who works it a call centre? It's a horrible high-pressure environment.

    You may not believe this,but Labour is on the rise - the Tories are desperate to hang on to their slender thin majority of 12 (the twelve apostates) - soon illness and death will deplete their numbers.

    The Tories also know the growing hatred of them among the people. I got a letter from Scameron, I read it three times, he wants me to vote Tory in the London Mayoral election - ha, fat chance.

    I've taken by slogan from the American Revolutionary War.

    "Vote Labour or die." From "Join us or Die" because that's how it's gonna be.

    Even the right wing press here in UK is starting to worry about the rise of the Labour Party. The people are sick of sameness and want something different - real Socialism and care for all of the people.

    The Tories want me to pay for my own healthcare in old age (now 74) when I was told as a child back in the 1940s that I will be taken care of from the cradle to the grave. Yeah, let's get back to real socialist idealism.

    Americans don't need to sneer at UK try turning your attention to Canada which enjoys a free at point of need healthcare system - are Canadians communist - are they Hell.

    The stereotyped idea of a handicapped person being in a wheelchair is outdated in the 21st century. The vast maj of ppl on DLA nowadays are suffering from "stress" and "anxiety" which is just an extention of the whiplash culture.

    Because the only other big party has allowed itself to be hijacked by an idiot the Tories will be back a 100-plus maj next time so the big, big clampdown will come in the next parliament in my opin.

    If the Tories are filling the land to the brim with parasites how can cuts in jobs and the loss of taxation possibly feed the millions of squatting camel hustlers - think again !

    Profits from cuts get pocketed

    I suppose anyone supporting cuts is a typical British xenophobicly motivated worry

    You're a disgrace, the Tories are literally driving handicapped people to suicide, by making impossible demands, and you want to pile-on?

    Shame on you.

    Many disabled people do work but you must understand that wheelchair users often have no access to public transport or have a myriad of other conditions that you cannot see

    I agree that some disabled people could work, but don't want to. There are also some who are fiddling the system and so giving genuine people a bad name.

    It's a;; comes down to self respect.

    Try to have some empathy. I am disabled and I have too much pain to hold a regular job.
