Iain Duncan Smith – you heartless fucking cunt! Shame on you and your scum party.

all tories are evil, ids, scum

Thanks to Pete for sharing this.

Work and Pensions Secretary IDS had already ducked questions in the Commons by choosing not to speak, instead putting forward his deputy Esther McVey

 IT was the day the Nasty Party showed its true-blue colours – by sneering at the plight of hungry families forced to rely on food banks.

Tory MPs laughed and jeered as they were told how some hard-up shoppers were so desperate they fought to snap up discounted items in supermarkets.

Astonishingly, all the Government ministers from the responsible departments – including Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith – sneaked out after just an hour of the crucial Commons debate.

By then a cowardly IDS had already ducked questions, putting forward his deputy instead.

In one of the most shameful episodes ever witnessed in Parliament, Tory backbenchers sniggered and hooted as Labour MP Fiona MacTaggart told of shocking scenes at her local Tesco in Slough, Berks, as people battled over cut-price fruit and veg.

She said the store had now been forced to draft in extra security.

Almost drowned out by mocking Tory MPs, she asked: “Isn’t that a shocking sign in the 21st century?”

Senior Labour politicians later described the Tories’ callous reaction as “shameful” and “a total disgrace”.

Labour MP Jamie Reed said: “I regret to say the laughter from the Government benches says more about this issue than words ever could.”

His colleague Barry Gardiner said it was “extraordinary” to see Mr Duncan Smith smirking as it was pointed out that half a million people are now using food banks.

And The Trussell Trust, the nation’s largest provider of food banks, said it was “disappointed” by the attitude of those who jeered.

Labour had called the debate after nearly 150,000 people signed a petition backed by the Mirror, the Unite union and The Trussell Trust calling for an inquiry into the growing dependence on food aid.

But Mr Duncan Smith refused to answer for the Government, leaving it to his deputy, Esther McVey.

And in an ill-judged speech, she sparked fury by claiming it was a good thing that more people were turning to food banks.

Incredibly she insisted: “It is positive that people are reaching out to support other people.”

She went on: “In the UK it is right that more people are going to food banks because as times are tough, we are all having to pay back this 
£1.5trillion debt personally. We are all trying to live within our means, change gear and make sure that we pay back all our debt.” Labour veteran Sir Gerald Kaufman described her speech as the “nastiest” he had heard in his 43 years as an MP.

Labour’s Lilian Greenwood added: “They are the nasty party through and through. She doesn’t get it and won’t take responsibility.”

Shortly after Ms Mcvey’s performance, Mr Duncan Smith scurried from the chamber, followed by an number of other senior Tories.

Speaker John Bercow said he had no power to stop them, but said the view that it was a disgrace there was no minister there “may be widely shared”. Shadow Environment Secretary Maria Eagle said the increasing need for food banks was a damning indictment of Government policy.

She added: “Since April this year more than 500,000 people have relied on assistance from the 400 food banks run by The Trussell Trust charity, double the number of food banks compared to this time last year.” She added: “It’s a scandal which is getting worse and the Government now has the humiliation of the Red Cross helping to collect and distribute food aid in Britain for the first time since the Second World War.”

Former Labour Cabinet minister Paul Murphy told the Commons he had never seen such poverty in his 40 years as a Welsh politician, apart from during the 1984 Miners’ Strike.

Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Rachel Reeves told the House: “It’s a tale of two nations – tax cuts for the rich, food banks for the poor.”

Not all Tories joined in the mocking and jeering.

Wycombe MP Steve Baker gave an emotional speech in support of food banks as he revealed how poverty had caused the break-up of his family when he was a child.

He said there was no one to help when his self-employed dad ran out of work. They had to go hungry and his parents eventually split up.

He blamed the current plight of hard-up families on politicians pretending there is a “magic wand” to solve the problem.

Mr Baker said 12,000 children in Buckinghamshire were currently living in poverty, with one in five in his constituency going to bed hungry, rising to one in three in some areas.

He added: “It is a scandalous indictment of the safety net that is the welfare state.”

But Tory and Lib Dem MPs banded together to defeat Labour’s motion, calling on the Government to reduce dependency on food banks, by 294 votes to 251, a majority of 43.

Food banks give a minimum of three days’ emergency food to people facing crisis in the UK.

People are referred by care professionals though a voucher system to ensure only genuine cases receive help.

Vouchers are also held by Jobcentre Plus for emergency distribution.

Each food bank is run in partnership with a local church or community. All food is donated by the public.

blame, ids, Thatcher, universal credit

Weak management, the national audit has citied as the reason the implementation of the Universal Credit system. So does he say, I’ll get it sorted, No he blames the civil service, IT, and the postman walking down the road.

Fuck me, Thatcher may have been evil but at least it was organised evil.

Oh the chaos in my head – Thatcher, IDS, Crass, Wolves and the future of the working classes

Crass, ids, Opportunity, Thatcher, working class, youth

Just what have you a right to expect out of life? You have a right to be free from oppression and being thrown to the wolves, hence we have a benefits system, but you also have a right to work for a FAIR wage. The benefits that are paid to people are not enough to live on with the current prices of food, rents etc..so it really isn’t right where a job doesn’t pay enough to encourage those who want to and can work to get a job.

Thatcher started the rot with destroying apprenticeships, with YTS, IDS is destroying the benefits system but still allowing employers to pay next to nothing wages. Which moves me onto the Wolves, certain players are simply fucking shit players on 20-40k a week  and don’t appear to be making an effort, whilst fans are paying a fortune to watch their non performance. Where is the justice, no wonder people only want to become famous or marry a footballer!

Do they owe us a living – OH COURSE THEY FUCKIN DO!

Kill the Poor part 3 – Is Iain Duncan Smith the fairest man alive?

benefit cuts, benefits, ids, tory scum

So capping all benefits at 1% is fair, even though food and energy may increase annually at a higher rate? IDS added that benefits payable to pensioners, including the Winter Fuel Allowance, were not being capped because older people had “less flexibility” and did not have the option of finding work.

So is capping benefits simply a punishment for not having a job?

I suggest that we should all queue up outside IDS’s house at night to see if he really can sleep!

Whilst the country are still hooked on Kate’s tits, Ian Duncan Smith plans his attack on state benefits.

benefits, cruelty, Dickensian, ids, immorality

Coming soon to an area near you!

It’s always a wonderful opportunity for politicians when a story as titilating (sorry for the pun) as our future Queen being pictured topless, to announce some pending legislation that is completely immoral, prejudicial and simply cruel.

IDS want to link benefit increases to wage rises rather than inflation, and change the fixed pension. Fucking hell, it’s hard enough to live on the basic state benefits anyway (forget the stories that the daily mail prints about every claimant being an immigrant and living of £75,000 a day) without it becomming increasingly more difficult each year.

Do they really want to take us book to the Dickensian ages with an introduction of workhouses………’boy for sale, he’s going cheap’…………..yes they probably do……..’shine ya boots govner’ as I take off my hat and pull my forelock when my betters walk by.

A ‘Job Snob’ or ‘anti exploitation’ – you decide.

Daily Mail, exploitation, government scheme, Iain Duncan Smith, ids, slavery

Iain Duncan Smith, IDS not to be confused with IBS, has called critics of the wonderful Government  scheme, where 18 – 24 year olds get offered unpaid jobs, as ‘job snobs.  Mr Duncan Smith said in the Daily Mail:

The implicit message behind these attacks is that jobs in retail, such as those with supermarkets or on the High Street, are not real jobs that worthwhile people do. How insulting and demeaning of the many thousands of people who already work in such jobs up and down the country. I doubt I’m the only person who thinks supermarket shelf-stackers add more value to our society than many of those ‘job snobs’ who are pontificating about the government’s employment policies.

You arrogant fucker – it isn’t an insult or demeaning to people who already do those jobs, putting our youth out to work for nothing short of slavery and that is the insult. Take away the EMA so many can’t afford to go into full time education, and offer them unpaid jobs;  if a job needs doing then there should be a wage attached to it. All very inspirational and motivating, next they will bring in conscription because that will make  a man of you (or at least allow you to police the olympics). 

I’d rather smoke crack and riot!

Iain Duncan Smith now puts the boot into pensioners!

ibs, ids, state pension age, tory cunts

IDS is becoming as irritant as IBS; after blaming single parent benefit scroungers for all the greed in the world (see previous post), IDS has now stated that the state pension age is rising to slowly, at the moment, the age is due to rise to 67 in 2036 and 68 by 2046. For fucks sake I don’t think I will ever be able to retire, no wonder the public sector are fighting tooth and nail for their pensions; retirement is another thing that will become a privilege of the rich.

The Tory party are proving to be true to form and attacking all forms of state assistance. What the fuck were people thinking electing them? What the fuck was Nick Clegg doing getting into bed with them?
