 Posted: 19:30 - 01 Apr 2013 Post subject: Ian Duncan Smith |
 |
|
Just perusing the Telegraph website, and in particular the story about Ian Duncan Smith -
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/9964767/Iain-Duncan-Smith-I-could-live-on-53-per-week.html
This comment i felt was fairly accurate -
"Ian Duncan Smith is a man who has spent most of his adult life sucking on the public teat and sponging off his wife's family.
He has a dim view of spongers and has promised to cut another £10billion off the state's handout bill. Obviously, the people who take handouts they don't deserve should be the first to take a cut.
So let's start by talking about someone who lives off the state and has little experience of the world of work you and I know. He is 58 years old and has suckled upon the publicly-funded teat for most of his life.
He's signed on the dole. He's had four children and received child benefit for all of them. He has put them each through private school, too.
His wife hasn't worked since they married, except for 15 months in which he got her a job paid by the taxpayer.
He and his colleagues eat and drink food subsidised by the tax payer in a palace we pay for. He is driven around in a car he does not own and has not paid for - we did.
And when he is too old to 'work' any more he will receive a better pension than most of the rest of us - which again we paid for.
He started out at the age of 21 with six years of taxpayer-funded military service, during which he acted as bag-carrier to a Major-General. Then in 1981, aged 27, he left the Army and signed on the dole for several months.
He then began a period of ordinary work based upon the skills he had gained at the taxpayer's expense, and worked in sales for arms dealer GEC-Marconi.
He then moved on to a property firm, where he was made redundant after six months, and then sold gun-related magazines for Jane's Information Group.
After 11 years of this not too glittering a career he succeeded in once again boarding the publicly-funded gravy train in 1992.
In the intervening 20 years he has been paid by the taxpayer every year more money than most of the rest of us manage to earn. He has managed to boost it up to more than six figures for a few years here and there by being more pompous than the others in his position.
In 2001 he helped his unemployed wife to have a suckle, arranging for her to be paid £15,000 a year to be his diary secretary. (The Newsnight TV programme pulled a story that seemingly alleged she didnt actually do anything).
These days he is given the grand total of near £150,000 a year from the taxpayer.
He lives for free in a £2million Tudor farmhouse on his father-in-law's ancestral estate in Buckinghamshire.
He has three acres of land, a tennis court, swimming pool and some orchards, which is not bad for a life paid for by the state.
'Who is this parasite?' you might cry. 'Tell us his name, let the authorities know his address. Let's get this guzzler out of the cushy life and show him what life is like for the rest of us,earning £7 an hour with a rise once every eight years and a miserly pension if we're lucky.'
His name is Iain Duncan Smith, and his address is: Palace of Westminster, LondonSW1A 0AA.
He is disgusting and a far far bigger leech on your money than the worst dole scrounger you can think of and twice as pointless." |

I look forward every day to hearing about anti-benefit tossers being made redundant...and having to rely on the benefits they only a short time previously were clamouring to have reduced.  ____________________ "There's the horizon! Ride hard, ride fast and cut down all who stand in your way!" |

I think it is unrealistic, in the light of the past 20 years, that the government (Tory or Labour) have the ability to reform the benefits system and get rid of the parasites. The proposed bedroom tax is laughable. Perhaps they will propose a massive IT system to sort it all out!
This is all politics, Its a great bit of divide and conquer. We're arguing over saving some pocket money on getting scroungers into minimum wage Mcjobs (which I am sure they will happily take rather than stealing motorbikes!)
What are the plans for the 'employed and on benefits' crowd? Right now they are being subsidised; we can't afford to do this. The jobs that allow people to maintain this lifestyle do not exist. So millions will be pushed down into 'poverty' or forced debt, time to get prepared G stylee. We're all going to find out how poor this country is soon enough.
What happens to the retail sector when nobody has any spare cash? How much money does flipping burgers for other poor people add to GDP? Prediction of 10 trillion in debt by 2015.
This isn't about envy, nearly everyone is getting the barrel pointed at them. Every saver in the country whether its a cleaner or a millionaire is getting hit with inflation and low interest rates. People are losing their jobs and homes whatever the number in the bank account. Pensions are getting raided.
So what are the government doing for the real economy in conjunction with benefit savings? NOTHING. The City of London is doing great by the way, funny that when everything else is in decline. Could it be due to the fact that the government are propping them up? Low interest rates are brilliant for dangerous speculation. Those bailouts came in real handy, I wasn't annoyed at all when they refused me credit for my business.
We're all in it together
Austerity is here to stay, more bank bailouts look likely; prepare your anus for the cock some of you love so much. ____________________ NSR 125F > BROS 400 > NC30 > BROS 400 > Trumpet S4 > '97 VFR 750 |

Some people don't relies where they are in the world structure of life.
Let see.
If you live in a country that is not total corrupted.
Have shoes on your feet cloth's on your back.
A roof over your head.
And don't got to bed hungry.
You live in the top 5% of the world's population.
If you have a place that you own.
Have no debit to any one.
Have money in the bank.
You live in the top 2% of the world's Population.
Now where do you fit in against all the others
