I had an e-mail today from my nephew. He was forwarding a message he had received from David Cameron.David Cameron's message was all about public spending - and, of course, the necessity of cutting it down.
Whilst I can remember many times in the past when cuts in public spending needed to be made - or were made willy-nilly - in order to avoid an economic crisis, I can't remember any Government asking me for my opinion as how those cuts might be made fairly and responsibly, or inviting me to comment on the waste of public funds. So the message was a 'newbie' for me - and it's probably going to be 'newbie' for you as well.
Don't miss this opportunity to have your say and make yourself heard! Go to Spending Challenge and tick the boxes, check out all the tags and ideas - and submit your own ideas.
In his e-mail David Cameron remarked that it is, after all, your money that your Government spends - and that's true. Having a Government that admits it? That's new.
