“Austerity Kills: The Government’s War Disguised as Policy”

They called it austerity.
What they meant was slow extermination.

When the cuts came, they didn’t hit the rich. They hit us — the sick, the poor, the disabled, the carers. Every budget “reform,” every “efficiency saving,” every “tough choice” was a knife in our backs. And we’re still bleeding.

They told the public it was necessary. That we “all had to tighten our belts.” But some of us didn’t even have belts to begin with. We were already on the floor, scraping by, and they still reached down to take what little we had left.

They slashed benefits, closed services, and called it “modernisation.”
They shut down support centres and called it “progress.”
They let people die — and called it “fiscal responsibility.”

Do you understand how sick that is?
People died because of government policy.
That’s not a headline — that’s mass cruelty dressed up as governance.

They starved the NHS. They gutted local councils. They cut social care until families broke under the weight of trying to keep each other alive.
And now they stand there, in their polished suits, bragging about “economic recovery” — built on the graves of the people they abandoned.

Austerity isn’t over. It never ended. It just changed costume.
They call it “reform” now.
“Restructuring.”
“Fiscal discipline.”
Different words — same blood.

And we’re supposed to sit quietly while they rewrite history, pretending it was all just a tough but necessary phase.
No. We remember.
We remember every name, every headline, every mother, father, and friend who didn’t survive their cruelty.

Austerity was never an accident. It was a choice.
And until they admit that — until they face what they’ve done — we will keep shouting their shame.

Because austerity didn’t just ruin lives. It ended them.
And we refuse to let them forget it.
