Nick Clegg, the Deputy PM has promised a further £100 Million for childcare. While I am sure that thousands of unmarried mothers will appreciate his largesse, as this will allow them more time to spend with their 'baby-fathers' - either past or future - I do have to ask from where is Nick getting all of this money? I just don't believe that the YouTube royalties from his 'I'm Sorry' video will be sufficient. Neither surely, could be his wife's salary.
So where does it come from?
Surely, he can't be planning to spend taxpayers money? We are living in hard times, or so we are constantly told. It seems that this money is coming from 'government underspending'. That's right. They have taken more money from taxpayers than they needed to and, rather than give it back, will fritter it away on providing 100,000 nursery places for 2 year-olds. Will this allow these mothers to go out and find work? What do you think? Hint - we are told by the Labour Party that there are 'no jobs out there' - so why provide extra nursery spaces? Surely, it couldn't be that he wants to allow these mostly unmarried mothers to have the time to get pregnant and become a greater burden on the taxpayer? That would be too perverse, even for a Lib Dem!
In truth, I don't really expect Nick Clegg and the socialist Lib Dems to understand the concept of ownership - the money I earn is mine and not the government's - but surely, at the heart of the Conservative-led Coalition, there are some people who still understand the basic principles of Conservative belief? Someone? What about in the Conservative Party?
Urgent Note to David Cameron - Andrew Mitchell - he should go and go today. His comments were crass and stupid but more importantly, the story is distracting government from the business of government - namely fixing the economy! I must declare an interest though, I can't forgive Mitchell for being the International Development Minister and giving my tax money to overseas while cutting spending in the UK. Unforgivable! That isn't hypocrisy. I don't want the government to take my money and waste it overseas and I don't want them to waste it here in the UK, either
