What an Alice in Wonderland world when the people swinging the axe get cheered by the poor wretches who will get it in the neck. Anderson could refuse to do the Tories dirty work and give a lead not just to council workers and users of services but also other councils throughout the country. Saying it's only "the loony left" who believe a fightback is possible as Anderson did is a disgrace. Look at history where councillors in Poplar in London refused to cut benefits for the poor and inspired a mass movement. If we don't resist the cuts this year Cameron will be back for much more next year. Will Anderson still be saying there's no alternative then?
