SO, 100 business leaders signed a letter backing the Tory led coalition government and their economic policies.

Well knock me down with a feather! Whatever next?

One hundred bears express preference for densely wooded toilet facilities.

The letter states "We believe a change in course will threaten jobs and deter investment."

The one form the business leaders that is, not the bears, they're more interested in privacy issues.

It praises lowering of corporation tax as pro business and warns a Labour government would put recovery at risk.

Fine if you are lucky enough to be in a well paid secure job and don't care about anything or anyone else.

Last week the Tories heralded more jobs created and more businesses created as proof of their government's success.

It was only days after we learned three quarters of staff in a leading high street sports chain were on minimum wage zero hours contracts.

I wonder what a letter by 100 of those workers would have to say about changing course.

I wonder what a letter by 100 mothers who have been to a food bank in the last year would find to praise the Government for.

Let's get 100 people who have had to borrow money in the last month to pay the winter gas and electric bill to write to Mr Cameron and Mr Osborne.

We could go to the nearest pay day lending shop and ask the first 100 people through the doors what event prompted them to seek the worst kind of legal loan known to man and send the answers to the government.

There is all sorts of '100 people' we could ask about the pros and cons of the economic policies of the last five years.

The business leaders mention reducing corporation tax as a positive step, but no mention of freezing public sector and NHS staff pay and how great that has or hasn't been.

No mention either of the impact of departmental spending cuts on services to the elderly and disabled in communities the length and breadth of the country.

The cash to pay for a corporation tax cut has to come from somewhere and as the so called recovery isn't producing greatly increased tax revenues it is likely to come from more 'savings' as the government likes to call them or 'cuts' to the rest of us.

The 100 business leaders have had their say and the opportunity to scare people that things could be a whole lot worse.

Thankfully we have moved on from the days of a select few deciding who the government is and their vote is worth the same as yours and mine.

When people on zero hours contracts go to work on a Thursday they don't know what they will be working the following Monday.

On May 7 David Cameron and George Osborne will be in that position too.

That's something to think about.
