WHAT sort of man have we got as Prime Minister of this country?

David Cameron is on public record as having written to the Tory leader of Oxfordshire County Council (which covers his own constituency) to ask him why his council is proposing cuts to services such as elderly day centres, libraries and museums.

Evidently he asked his own county council leader why this council had not focused on making back office savings and why it hasn’t sold off surplus property before attacking frontline services.

His own Tory county council leader replied that it had already reduced staff by 2,800 and flogged all its surplus property.

Cameron claimed that the cumulative cuts in the county where he lives were £204 million since 2010, but the Tory leader of the council pointed out to him that the figure £204 million was in fact an annual figure and pointed out to him that the cumulative figure was £626 million since 2010.

If Cameron doesn’t even understand the devastating effect that his central government cuts are having on the Tory council area he lives in, God help us all.

He obviously does not know how to balance budgets and is completely oblivious to the pain he is causing the length and breadth of the country.
