“We’ve got the argument. We’ve got the alternatives. We’ve got the vision – get out and organise for it. There is an alternative to savage cuts in public services let’s not be fooled by the scaremongering about the debt. And let’s not fall for the lie that that this society can’t afford decent public services. The money is there in our economy, if we want to raise it and put it to good use. But this government doesn’t want you to realise that. Not because half of the cabinet are millionaires who don’t want to pay their share…although half of the cabinet are millionaires who don’t want to pay their share. It’s because of an ideology. An ideology that hates public services. An ideology that loves privatisation. An ideology that sees public service employment – millions of people caring and helping and educating – not as an achievement to be celebrated – but as a problem to be tackled.”
