" ....delivering £35bn of value for money savings, equivalent to £1,400 per household ".

Well they have been delivering savings of £35N (that's about 10% of Central Government Expenditure) for years so they should be spending nothing by now.

Setting the Agenda for the tame lickspittle press ? Diverting attention from the Armageddon of Global Financial Meltdown ?

No. Apparently we should be rejoicing because one of these great cost savings is "Giving Jobcentre Plus advisers greater discretion to personalise support, benefiting up to 80,000 jobseekers." There are of course 3 Mn Jobseekers at the moment .. and rising.

"denied public funds"

Would that mean not entitled to social security benefits/NHS etc.

"Contest 2 would widen the definition of extremists"

Would that be anyone that holds a different opinion to the government...bloggers/members of other political parties etc.
