I think it's ridiculous
and I fucking hate the self-righteousness that rolls off the cunts. They rarely come up with decent fixes or mends, they just whine about the way things are.

While I don't doubt that some people who oppose the government are cunts
I also don't doubt that some of them who support it are too.

There are alternatives to the current cuts.

Of course there are alternatives
doesn't mean they should be taken just because some people think that's the right way. The alternatives proposed aren't good enough to be honest to have to overturn their stance on certain issues in order to enable. Come up with a fantastic plan that'll fix everything, rather than a wishy-washy 'perfect world' scenario.

I am poorly informed.
Thus: What are these alternatives, please?

Smaller cuts over a longer period
because having a large debt which you are quite capable of paying off over time as your economy grows is better than having a small debt and an economy which has been crippled by massive cuts and leads to higher unemployment and greater public spending on benefits which in turn ends up with a larger debt again.

Lots
A 'Robin Hood' tax on banks could raise billions - even something as simple as stopping public schools being classed as 'charitable' foundations could gain £130 million per year.
