Why should anyone find the claims that these cuts were 'accidental' to be creditworthy? This is functionally an attack upon our liberal democracy and civilization. Let those responsible be identified and held to account, and let us overcorrect this wilful error, for those institutions are like pillars supporting this community and their funding was already too anemic. Austerity is a fascist ploy to subvert, weaken, and enslave an otherwise prosperous and free society. It is an intolerable affront and its champions are monstrous. The emperor wears no clothes.
