Letter: Clever and cunning Tories?

Dear Editor

Cameron has called for further benefit cuts after the next General Election; this would cause more poverty and misery. It seems an incredible call given the widespread opposition to the cuts now happening, but remember he is a Tory politician and they are said to be clever and cunning operators.

Why would he, at this moment, make such a statement? I believe he thinks he can work the odds in the next General Election by giving the Lib Dems political ammunition to oppose the cuts, figuring out the Lib Dems will gain votes – and in doing so leaving the possibility of a Tory/LibDem-dominated hung parliament again.

I think in this case we have to delete the word ‘clever’ and leave ‘cunning’.

Dream on, Cameron!
