(not satire – it’s ConDemNation today)
Well at least the headline got your attention.
Iain Duncan-Smith is openly abusing children.
According to a report out this week by the Child Poverty Action Group, his welfare benefit uprating legislation will cause both absolute and relative child poverty in the UK to increase (chapter 1).
It also exposes IDS’s myth about there being an ‘explosion’ in the cost of unemployment benefits – in 1979, unemployment benefit was about 22 per cent of average weekly earnings; today it is about 15 per cent, a relative decline of about a third (chapter 3).
And contrary to claims by IDS, researchers could not find even one case in
Teesside and Glasgow of families where no-one has worked for three generations (chapter 4).
The report also notes – again contrary to claims by IDS – that benefit fraud in the UK is at its lowest ever recorded level (chapter 5).
So why is he and the coalition doing this to our children. Does he enjoy it?
Looks like my sensationalist headline might not be so sensationalist after all.

IDS is most certainly a child abuser when taken in the context of child poverty.

According to the middle/upper class morons who MAY get their child benefit reduced if they cannot find a pension pot or charity to hide their earnings in, it is their children that are being abused. lol. Only 60,000 and no pocket money from the state.

Of course its abuse. When you create conditions that neglect the needs of children so that they will fail to thrive, what else can it be.Good header.

Your being very hard on old IDS, he learned how to count at the university of Peruga or was it at one of the other places he claimed to have studied at?
