OVER many years numerous authors have written about the role of disasters in creating conditions to implement huge attacks on living standards. These disasters are not necessarily naturally occurring. They can be the result of policy.
A week ago the new Tory government that no-one elected deliberately created a crisis which they hope to use to lower living standards for the vast majority of people in this country.
