I WISH to comment on the Con-Lib Dem coalition’s stance on the economy; specifically, that we all must suffer to put the economy back on its feet.

I am willing to lay a pound to a penny that whoever suffers in the fight to re-establish the country’s fiscal standing it will not be any of the millionaires and multi-millionaires in the Government.

Nor is it likely to be any MPs with their payments from anyone in the business world with whom they are willing to associate their names on boards of directors and the like.
