Also what is your point? Are you trying to deny that austerity in EU is happening?!

Really, you don't have to look hard for info, this is on first page searching for austerity UK:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_government_austerity_programme

That's government spending per year, you can plot it yourself using the data from the link I got. They offer an export to excel option which make the process easy.

And what I say is what the data shows: what some people call austerity is laughable bullshit. A majority of the EU is spending more now than before and those who have a negative angle have not radicaly cut their spending, just got back to around 2008 levels.
If some vital programs have been cut this mean they have choosen to keep on paying for stupid things. Shitty allocation of means.

Continue twisting the meaning of austerity, maybe in a couple of decades you will be right. Like how you fucked up the meaning of liberal.
