Britains BIGGEST benefit scrounger


Recommended Posts

Had your benefits stopped then.

 

No but these people have ..

 

IDS is not fit to run the DWP .. He is currently refusing to publish details on how many have died relating to their benefit being stopped. His policies have led to alot of deaths and he isn't taking responsibility, as usual.

 

 

A transcript of the discussion:

 

Owen Jones: "There is a point that has to be made about the treatment of disabled people in this country. There's two names I want to give Iain ... Brian McArdle, 57 years old, paralyzed down one side, blind in one eye, he couldn't speak. He died one day after being found "fit for work" by Atos. Another example, Karen Sherlock..."

 

Iain Duncan Smith: [interrupts angrily] "Hang on a minute, we've heard a lot from you...''

 

 

So there you have it !! .. Iain Duncan Smith cares so little about the suffering and death of actual, real, named people that he would disrespectfully interrupt the description of the circumstances of their death with an angry political tirade.

 

Viewers never even got to find out the circumstances of Karen Sherlock's death, thanks to Iain Duncan Smith's interruption and David Dimbleby's cowardly decision to shut down the debate instead of chastising Iain Duncan Smith for interrupting so disrespectfully, or intervening to allow Owen to complete his point as any decent moderator would have done.

 

For those of you that are interested in the circumstances of Karen's death, here are a couple of links detailing the appalling suffering of this poor woman, much of it directly attributable to Iain Duncan Smith's Welfare regime..

Doctors are not a good example, because they are some of our most important people, but yet they are not at the top of the money tree.

 

How does any of what you've just said not apply to cabinet ministers?

Iain Duncan Smith the henchmen of the Welfare state who's job is simple dismantle the whole benefits system before your eyes. The right wing press will play the party song of make believe and demonized the benefit claimant with over top stories and sanctions. Just an other day in the fair and justice land of Tory Britain .

2. People are demonstrably not paid what they're worth. If shop assistants for example were allowed to vote for their own levels of pay and payrises, as many board members do, they would be earning a heck of a lot more than they are now.

 

.. and be unemployed in a few months for paying themselves a salary that the business probably couldn't sustain due to ignorance of the business. The complexities of payroll vs. profit isn't in the remit of shop assistants, if it was and they understood it then they wouldn't be shop assistants would they? The people at the top give themselves a pay rise to reflect their perceived level of success, at an amount the company can afford to pay them.

 

Last time I looked we weren't a communist utopia, where everyone has to earn pay equal to everyone else with no reflection on the job skills or time worked.
