And Jeremy Hunt trying his best to dismantle the NHS so he can carve up the remains for his chums in the private sector (whilst blaming the junior doctors)

Alex Brooker had a serious go at IDS on Friday's "Last Leg". He pointed out that IDS lives in a country home provided free by his father in law, and basically said that you couldn't get a government minister more out of touch with what it's actually like to have to live on disability benefits...

have you seen all those memes knocking about on FB & twitter?

all of them revealing which tories have voted for the cut, then explaining what arseholes they are?

He'll bring the service to its knees and then, when the bodies start to pile up, he'll blame everyone else and then come galloping to the rescue with his privatisation plan, expecting us all to fall at his feet and thank him. 

They must think we are all bloody stupid, they really must

If you're older it is the state kidnapping and attempted assassination service. The SKAAS.

Crikey, Velvet!  Worrying times. 

Nye Bevan must be spinning like a catherine wheel

It needs a government to come in and sort it all out, root and branch, as they say.  A government that will make it a priority. 

Above all, a government that cares, and that certainly isn't Lord Snooty and his chums

Sadly, I think you're right, Velvet.  I like Jeremy Corbyn but not sure whether he will get a chance to put things right

theres a group of people out there who will hopefully bring the bastards to their knees

If they hadn't been voted in in the first place we wouldn't be in this situation now 

I don't know where to start 

Debt doubled, food bank users over a million, bedroom tax, NHS being sold off right under our noses, electoral fraud in 24 marginal seats, can you imagine if this had been labour...it would have been front page for months and now this latest gem ...take £30 off severely disabled and terminally ill to fund a tax cut for hight earners, words fail me 

I have said it before and will stand by it, this is the most corrupt government we have ever had and being aided and abetted by the 80% millionaire owners of the press, the BBC is now a political mouthpiece for the heartless tw*ts.

Harding is head of politics and news at the BBC, he's best mates with Dave and Gidiot...I don't even look at the BBC news anymore, they suppress any negativity about the Tories. 

They are tearing the heart out of the country, everything that we should should be proud of, I'm not proud of our country, I'm ashamed that we are allowing people to starve, people to beg and people to die to fund the well off...

 and we are sitting on our ar$es and letting them do this 

A food bank in North Lanarkshire got this referral on Wednesday:

******* is a vulnerable Lone Parent I have referred her previously due to mix up with child tax credits.She has 3 children youngest Son just discharged from hospital pass out at home Has had surgery to remove brain tumour and stent fitted. ******* failed to attend Job Centre when Son was in hospital, I am working with Job Centre to get benefit sanction resolved, in meantime access to foodbank would allieviate some stress for this Family.

Imagine living in a country where the Job Centre penalises you for not attending an interview because your son passed out after brain surgery.

This is modern Britain.

This is the Britain that Iain Duncan Smith and the Tories are creating

Way to go Jezza!   seeing it as it really is  

I was impressed by Jeremy Corbyn.  You can tell he really believes in what he is saying.

No doubt the headlines in the Tory press tomorrow will be mainly concerned with what JC was wearing rather than what he was saying.

For what it's worth, I thought he looked rather dapper!

He did Madame, but it really shouldn't be an issue, and I think he's held up well to all the crap thrown at him. He's obviously a principled man and good on him, sticking up for what he believes in 

Loved JC's speech, he's a committed honorable man who's been lambasted, quotes twisted and all but downright slandered. I have come to expect no less from the Tory Party, British press and the media, ask people why they don't like him and you're given quotes out of the Daily Mail ...bangs head 

85% of the budget will benefit the wealthiest, whilst the dying, disabled and chronically sick will be living in poverty..by the way, I'm still trying to find the other 15% that will benefit the less fortunate. 

Schools to be back-door privatised, longer school hours, wonder if the teachers are going to be rewarded like the CEO's of these acadamies

No shame and no answer 

Jolly well said, Dame!

The treatment meted out to JC reminds me very much of the way Michael Foot was treated.

It makes me so angry to hear the likes of Dave Dastardly making cheap shots at his expense, mocking him and then looking around at his Tory cronies as if to say, "Look at me, aren't I a hoot?"

Well, Dave, wait until Boris makes a bid for yourcrown.  Those same cronies who chortle at your 'witticisms' will be queueing up to stab you in the back.

Madame, give me a honest man wearing a crooked tie, than a crook in an expensive tie any day 

Dave mocking him is the only way he can fight back, he's refused debates simply because he can't speak without a script, the good old Bullingdon Club in full flow ...Boris and Trump together and I will be flying off to the Netherlands for a bit of legalised euthanasia

What a truly horrific prospect that is!   But I honestly think that the American people will not let Trump anywhere near the White House, even if it means Republicans voting for H. Clinton in order to stop him.

There was some old Etonian git on the wireless the other day, holding forth about Jeremy's attire at PMQ's (he had committed the unforgiveable sin of not wearing a suit, apparently).  The interviewer pointed out to the Tory Toff that Boris Johnson had turned up to the debate with his hair uncombed and his shirt hanging out of his trousers, to which the TT replied that this was acceptable because Boris 'has charisma'!

About as much charisma as a toilet brush 

Do those still exist?

Comparing him with a lavatory brush is rather good, Moonie.  They're both full of it

to be honest im not that politically minded, i just know that i can see that what that cam & his jolly chums are doing is wrong, selling NHS off, now selling schools, theyve flogged the post office,if its not nailed down, they'll flog it

as far as jezza corbyn is concerned he seems a proper nice caring bloke, really old school, but he's not strong enough to take on them nasty posh bastards,theyve claimed millions in expenses, he hasnt,at least he's an honest bloke..too bloody honest probably

at least jezza knows this is wrong

if ever i met IDS id punch the fat bastard

I think people need to see the wood for the trees Pirate, there is a different and far fairer way. JC is strong enough, it's the tory press banging the point home that he's not electable...fecking Andy Pandy would do better than the shower of thieves we have in now. 

Sums it up

yep, tories have took it a step too far, they were hoping that people like daily mail readers think theyre clamping down on benefit street types, when in fact theyre taking away the help & liberty of genuine disabled people who actually need assistance

theyve called it wrong and they f*cking know it, hence the potential backing down

its not impossible sprout, but i think this budget is gideons poll tax moment, it will cause a lot of bother and he'll be out, he's not even trained to be in this job and as for IDS i can only hope he's taken away in a jacket with buckles in the back of a van

Having said that, yes there are cheats in every part of society. It's down to the government to weedle these peeps out and deal with them, not tar everyone with the same brush!

I agree Sprouty 

Looks like it's going to be kicked into touch until they can come up with an equally evil plan which no doubt will be aimed at the poorest. I just wish people would check their facts before believing b*llox about scroungers...check their facts on which party has borrowed the most and paid back the most, yet labour are still the party that's not trusted with the economy because the Daily Mail ,The Scum and this Jackastory government preaches ...this is what you get when you get a powder loving, failed maths exam dick head that doesn't know which side of the country is which handling the nations finances ...
