Social recovery ‘matching economy’, Iain Duncan Smith to say.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-28735336

Is he off his head?

It may be too kind to let him off by saying he is one premium short of an applicable amount.

His pronouncements are always filled with self-certitude and moral fervour. He knows what he is saying. That little or none of it is true or accurate is not an accident, and he should have no excuses when finally held to account.

His full speech is here Iain Duncan Smith Speech: Getting Britain Working

In light of an office discussion about the Lobbying Act and charities campaigning, I better keep quiet about this one for now…..

Forom the New pages….....“In a speech in London today, Mr Duncan Smith said that it is not enough to tackle poverty by income transfer - since, if nothing changes in a family’s lifestyle, then ‘poverty becomes a constant’ - and that -

‘Work is the best route to independence and independence is the firmest way to lift a family beyond financial poverty and… poverty of self-esteem.”

The poverty of self esteem!

I bet colleagues on hers can spot a few areas of poverty that Mr Smith is suffering from.  I’ll start “The poverty of credability”

so why cut benefits for people too ill to work??
Hypocrite
Maniac
