Whenever I watch IDS on television he strikes me as a condescending patronizing git who lacks compassion and common sense.if he gets angry about benefit cheats ...fine ....but then I get angry about the well to do being paid £1 million a year off the taxpayer for the farm holdings and property subsidies such as he does....I wonder how many people had to get sanctioned for him to receive the money he gets...one rule for us one rule for them so I guess we aren't all in this together.
Its clear! This man does not care about poor! Eventually God will teach him a lesson. Unemployment has been less in Labour government than conservatives(majority of the time), i couldnt understand how people can vote for these kind of people.
If there has been a criminal offence committed... how about criminal corporate manslaughter towards the client/"customers" of the corporation of DWP. There were many leaks of sanction targets and other policies as a corporate strategy. Plus untold amounts to documents not in public domain in my opinion. This if released would make windrush scandal a non entity. I should imagine it has national security connotations. Under his own word... "let my word be my bond" ... if any offence has been committed...
300 Remploy initiatives shut down.140 disabled people have committed suicide, since may 2010, as a direct result of having their benefits reduced, suspended or even taken completely away.
As of yesterday, 8th July 2015, he got his wish penalising poorer families with more than two children. Mr Smith, you make my skin crawl (and no, I'm not on benefits). You looked a complete and utter fool when you cheered and punched the air, no wonder they ditched you as leader.
"But rich people can have large families but poor people shouldn't" Well...yeah. If you can't financially afford to have children then you shouldn't have children. That's not about politics, that's just economic common sense.
And you have wasted 40 million on computer software as well; 'But the big bang tax thingy didnt work to start with either!' ROFLMFAO cracking open a 6 pack bought with a giro!
The Universal credit 'assessment' periods as they refer to actually con people out of benefit they would actually get under the old system If you are someone who picked up wages week to week your last three wage dates are taken into account regardless that you may have been unemployed for over half the rest of the assessment period. So if you have no saving you literally have to wait until the end of the next assessment period until you actually get anything...that could be up to 8 WEEKS!!!
The difference in language used is very telling. The visceral nature of saying that benefits cheats make his blood boil and the bureaucratic language about procedures and systems when it comes to tax fraud. On the one hand he aims at people, on the other he avoids mentioning the people involved. When it's poor people cheating the system it makes his blood boil, when it's the rich doing it for vastly higher amounts of money he is much more detached.
Right on, but you know my friend somewhere along the way the computer software debacle seems to have been conveniently forgotten. As long as you remember that there is one rule for the rich and another for the poor all will be well. Not sure what country you are from. but in. England there was in 19th century a form of entertainment called Music Hall, and one of the old songs that used to be sung was “It’s the rich what gets the pleasure it’s the poor what gets the pain” Enough said

He made a few good points that I totally agree with! Drug addicts should be made to take help to come off drugs! I do accept that it's a genuine health condition but as he quite rightly said it's a treatable condition
You know how hard it is to come off drugs. It would just be another cut to there benefit by Ian Duncan Smith, the peoples benefits would be stopped because of sanctioning if they did not comply to whatever hoops Ian Duncan Smith puts up or they would just stop claiming them selves and disappear from the system like thousands of people already have. Ian Duncan Smith doesn't care about the I'll and disabled people who were forced off the system because of the pressure put on them. Some of these desperate drug addicts would have to turn to some other activities to get money such as prostitution or stealing. They then would become criminalised and cost the state more money. There is also not enough drug treatment facilities available for drug addicts. Do you actually think Duncan Smith would spend tens of millions of pounds to increase and expand these drug treatment centers and pay for the staff needed. Just like the bedroom tax he said that the people can always move to a smaller property and not pay the bedroom tax knowing that there is not enough social housing and a shortage of single bedroom properties available for these people to move to. I wonder how many empty bedrooms Ian Duncan Smith has that could be made available for the homeless.
@@martindornan1667 I appreciate your point but then again people make the choice to take drugs just as others make the choice to smoke! Totally agree with you as regards the bedroom tax though
Let’s be honest Ian Duncan Smith no ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about people who cannot manage on the so called the minimum wage etc and he never will know. All he seems to go on about is prosicuting people. He was absolutely challenged by Jon Snow and has no answer to any of the things that were put to him. He is contemptible
Take responsibility.... Take responsibility..... Take responsibility... on a closed loop rigged vaulted system. Take responsibility , by utterly submitting to our system where you will then take from others , who will then have to Take responsibility and so on and so on.
Lets be reasonable here, should overweight people be helped financially by the taxpayer if they wont make any effort to help themselves? I dont think so. Also why should working families be struggling to pay bills when non working families are living off the state? I dont think these measures are inhumane. So long as they dont go too far. As for tax evasion, I think it should be stopped but its more important that we make sure that the taxes we are collecting are used properly in the first place before we start chasing people down for more money.
Because he cuts benefits to those who need it the most, his new target driven schemes have led to paralysed people being declared fit for work! As a result benefits are immediately sanctioned and unfortunately there's no hope for these people, they're not physically able to work.
