The Idiot Duncan Smith

Only Johnson the archetypal p*ss taker would give a Knighthood to a man who has brought so much misery to decent ordinary people in this country. Universal Credit and the Bedroom Tax - what a charmer this man is - as the Daily Mirror editorial notes - he got this gong for services to Boris Johnson. I wonder how many of those people using Foodbanks and on zero hour contracts who voted for this bunch of shysters are already regretting it?

Universal Credit and the Bedroom Tax concerns everyone - or should do - they don't differentiate between followers of any particular party.  It was interesting to hear Baroness Hale and others talking about how our legal system is being stretched and is disintegrating.  The lack of availability of Legal Aid to those needing it is atrocious.  You may be alright now but that doesn't mean you always will be.

Er - talking of venom? Bad loser? What was lost - apart from common sense in a system that rewards incompetence and heartlessness?

Are you a Labour voter by any chance?  Your venom is typical of a bad loser.

Don't worry as with Foodbanks these are sure to appear sometime in the next few years.

Universal credit is still bringing misery to many people.  So much wrong with it and still not rectified.  There was someone who was assessed as fit because they didn't fall  - well they couldn't because they were actually bedridden.  There are others who have had benefits stopped because they failed to get to attend meetings and then of course couldn't afford to get to meetings or buy food.  No wonder we have an increasing mental health problem. Make them hungry and they will want to work. How Victorian.  Where are the workhouses - we still don't have them - the Victorians did have these!

My reply to this is on the Chiswick site, really can't go through all that again.
