You Want Me To Lie To You ?

As Colm McCarthy has said, the State has not necessarily run out of compassion, but it has definitely run out of cash. As has have many of its citizens.

My monochrome literature seems to offer a bleak future, some voters say, as they compare it unfavourably to the glossy colour offerings from the other candidates.

"Recession" is not a strong enough word for the situation that we have. The glossy literature and lavish expenditure on behalf of some candidates is an affront to voters who are finding it difficult to make ends meet,and see little hope of an improvement. They deserve an unvarnished presentation of the prospects for change.

No more wishful thinking, OK ?
