As I understand it the basic Tory message was - we have to make cuts because of the economy but don't worry because people won't suffer that much because of the Big Society in which we will encourage citizens to fill the gap left by the cuts and facilitate the efforts of volunteers.

The reality in H&F is that the Irish Centre is being sold and shut even though supporters have pledged to find funds to pay to keep it open and an important centre which is the base for a significant number of voluntary groups is also to go putting their work at risk.

This is a clear case of the reality being nowhere near the rhetoric.
