The policies are working. But not for everyone. That seems to be her point.
Any solution would appear in this article if she actually had one to offer. But the author is as lacking in vision as Her Majesty's opposition, for all her research and analysis.
It's easy to criticise. No government can please every segment of society at the same time. Indeed, the author happily acknowledges that the early impacts of the recession and its associated countermeasures were harder on the well-off. Of course, the well-off are better placed to deal with negative shifts, not just financially but in terms of socio-economic capital, so that is as it should be.
Perhaps UKIP has the answer?
