The Government may have won the vote, but ...........

Now we see in what contempt this ConDem Government holds the people of this country.For the benifit of those people commenting to the fact that it is the fault of the last Government that we are in this mess, I would say that I agree. However, it is also the fault of the Banking and Finance sectors who have made vast sums of money from gambling in the property and exchange rate markets. then when the gamble failed, went cap in hand to a Government for bail out packages. It isalso the fault of the "markets" who speculate against Countries and reap huge profits when the enonomies fail, as in the case of Ireland, Greece, Portugal etc. (Who is next?)
It is not the fault of Students, Lecturers,Pensioners, Working families, Nurses, benifit claimants, taxpayers generally, or beleive it or not, the Police.
Why should ordinary people pay for the excesses of Markets, Financilal institutions, and the gutless acquiecence of Governments, too terrified to take the measures necessary to control the "City".
People may well criticise the events which took place in Parliament Square yesterday.
This is only the begining. When this Government introduces the measures which will effect people personally, cuts in services, reduction of minimum wage, cuts in expenditre, job losses, reductions in benifits, etc. etc.then we shall see demonstrations of public anger which will make the events of yesterday pale into insignificance.When the Police have to implement cuts to their own front line services, expenditure and support personell, will they too demonstrate?
On News 24 last night, Nick Robinson speaking from the lobby of the Palace of Westminster, concluded his report with the phrase "The Government may have won the vote, but they have lost control of the Streets".
A little premature perhaps, but prophetic in context.
