Ringer refers us to the post where he or she wrote "There are no cuts".

Of course many of the cuts as yet are "proposed cuts" which need parliamentary approval. (Not all - the executive can do a lot of things without asking parliament). But I don't think that was what Ringer meant, in the light of the fact that the post went on "What is reduced is the rate of increase in real terms of public spending!!!" Which of course doesn't in any way remove the fact that within this overall public spending numerous cuts are proposed affecting the lives of people.

Including the one I have telegraphed repeatedly - a proposal to take away from tend of thousands of people who are severely disabled and compelled to live in residential care homes the mobility component of disability living allowance, which has given them a small regular sum which can allow them to have some independent contact with the world about them.

"There are no cuts"... And the earth is flat.
