So the Tory leader would have us believe his big idea, the 'big society', is the answer to helping people through the recession. As the Chancellor pointed out: it is government that can intervene most effectively, to support businesses and families. Dave's idea is to compel people to seek help from over-stretched charity. He would send the undeserving poor to the wall, and the rest to the Poor House.
The boadsheets have themselves been most charitable and said that Dave may have a vision but has no idea how to get there. Well, he does have one concrete plan: we should all have a facebook status to show what good work we are doing in the community. You couldn't make it up. The Tories will scrap job creation, savage Proact and React in Wales and replace it with.... FB updates. Dave, you know about privilege, not poverty.
