"Easier said than done "

"WHATEVER else you may think of it, the House of Commons does political theatre as well as any parliament in the world, and the announcement of the government's spending review did not disappoint. The benches were crammed for the defining speech of the year—possibly the defining event of the coalition's entire time in office. As George Osborne, the chancellor of the exchequer, stood at the dispatch box and outlined the sharpest cuts in public spending for decades (£81 billion over the coming four years), the house murmured and rumbled. Mr Osborne talked grimly of the injustice of burdening future generations with debt, and said he would bring Britain "back from the brink". The opposition benches struggled to contain themselves. More than once, Mr Osborne had to break off his speech whilst John Bercow, the Speaker, shushed shouting MPs."
