We all know that statistics can be dull at the best of times. The news that government borrowing rose last month might therefore not exactly fill you with dread.
Nevertheless this is just one more reason why the coalition government cannot be trusted. Behind the dry statistics lies a catalogue of incompetence and vanity. The government is throwing away money on overseas aid, HS2, and membership of the EU. The welfare bill is rising, even though unemployment is falling, and even though the government is taking every opportunity of stripping unfortunate people of their benefits for trivial reasons.
Also behind the dry statistics lie countless stories of misery. Unemployed people struggle to find work while the economy continues to flounder. Many pensioners and working people struggle to subsist on small incomes. More and more people are hungry, and turning to food banks for help.
If you care about the misery behind the dry economic statistics, then make sure you NEVER vote Conservative or Liberal Democrat ever again.
