5 years ago we had zero growth and a failing economy. The axe that fell was necessary and affected all public services (and quite a few private sectors too). 5 years later the pound is worth more, we have a stable growth economy, confidence in the markets are higher and unemployment is down. Its a different economy today and they are re-prioritising where they inject money to what gain.
