About this ebook
For the last five years, Britain has been under the hammer of ‘Austerity’. In its name, wages have been frozen, benefits have been slashed and public spending squeezed. The pain of a financial crisis caused by bankers and speculators has been borne by ordinary people all over the country – and by the poor and disabled most of all.

No conspiracy theories here just a sharpe,factual account of the manipulation by those at the top of our society striping the assets of all the education and welfare systems that we come to expect as a taxpayer, for their own self interest...And yes they are all in this together.
