Stoatwobbler Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 It says something when this sort of parody isn't that far removed from what they are actually up to! http://newsthump.com/2012/06/26/slaughter-of-first-borns-could-save-50bn-in-child-benefit-pledges-cameron/ In a radical overhaul of the welfare system, David Cameron has set out plans for a measured policy of infanticide that could massively reduce the UK deficit, according to experts. The proposed scheme, which will initially target northern cities with a high proportion of working class people, would bring an abrupt end to the ‘culture of entitlement’ to a child. The proposals are seen as ‘red meat’ to disgruntled Tories eager to put some clear blue water between themselves and their coalition partners, even if it’s teeming with thousands of screaming babies floating downstream in Fortnum & Mason hampers. Work and Pensions Secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, who engineered the policy, countered “As well as saving the country an estimated £50bn over the four years of ‘implementation’, it would mean less chaotic supermarkets, fewer 4x4s on the road, and an eerie silence when absent-mindedly walking into a creche.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't support them (at least as of the time of conception, of course), don't have them. I.e. the way of the world since year dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vague_Boy Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 It says something when this sort of parody isn't that far removed from what they are actually up to! Yes, the Coalition is literally slaughtering children. Under hyperbole in the dictionary it says "see Stoatwobbler". There's plenty of real things you could be criticizing The Boy David for. Or is research too much like hard work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I1L2T3 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 This is where it is going wrong for the chancellor. He said this: 'Where is the fairness, we ask, for the shift-worker, leaving home in the dark hours of the early morning, who looks up at the closed blinds of their next door neighbour sleeping off a life on benefits? When we say we're all in this together, we speak for that worker. We speak for all those who want to work hard and get on.' His arguements seem to neglect the fact that he is hitting the poorest workers hardest. His arguments are also incorrectly predicated on the idea that anybody on benefits is a scrounger. He also forgets that it is him, his policies, that has thrown the economy into reverse. He needs to change the record and start tackling the problems we have head on, instead of endlessly spouting pointless rhetoric that attempts to turn people against each other. Don't get me wrong, I'm not being party political about this. You can look at Labour with their 'tax the rich' and the LibDems with their mansion tax - again more pointless rhetoric designed to turn sections of society against each other. It gets us nowhere.
