Iain Duncan Smith - The British Secretary of State - wants disabled people to suffer!

  • Nick Robinson: What [taxpayers] don't like hearing about is the many, many thousands of people now who - because of cuts to disability benefit and cuts to employment and support allowance and cuts to housing benefit - are now really suffering.
  • IDS: But they're not suffering. The point about this is that what makes you suffer is the state that plunges you into dependency on the state. It does two things, it means bigger bills for taxpayers and it means your life and your children's lives will be blighted by being dependent on me, the secretary of state, to give you the money to live.

  • MY THOUGHTS: If the left wing media was more cut throat and more like the utter neo-fascist right wing media then that's the headline you'd be seeing everywhere tomorrow. He is a failure (as are many component pieces of the Coalition, I'm not stupid) so fuck the benefit cap that has no true detail or thought. OH, except for the fact that the Murdoch's of the World with political backing like to try to paint 'anyone you don't know' as the Boogeyman, even when all people found guilty of benefit fraud/abusing the system ON PURPOSE and such are such a slim percentage (see: less than 5% at worst) that it shouldn't even come into question.
