Ian Duncan Smith Raises Prejudice To The Level Of Policy Again.


Ian Duncan Smith, who has never done a real day's work in his life, has now declared that "stacking shelves is better than dreaming of stardom on the X factor." We asked the most evil and stupid man in modern British politics to expand on this thought; "I came to this conclusion while watching the early stages of the "X Factor." It was filled with working-class scum who had deluded themselves into thinking that they can sing. I immediately realised that the vast majority of working-class scum think in this way about everything because I am a genius who can make these connections without any real evidence to support them. They are all deluded in believing that they have a future or that they might be able to "better" themselves. I decided then it had to stop. I remembered an old saying - "We are all of us lying in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars" - and realised that that should read - "We are all of us lying in the gutter but ordinary working-class scum would be better off staring down the sewer." It was then that I had my great idea. All those deluded working-class scum graduates who were dreaming of becoming doctors, airline pilots, lawyers or even middle management should be forced to stack shelves in Tesco's for no pay to show them that they are all actually no-hopers. Hard work without hope of improvement is the quickest way, I believe, of re-establishing the class system in Britain which has been the bedrock of our success. It is a vital first step towards making our great nation more competative in a world where Indian and Chinese sweatshops are the way forward. With the indigenous population believing that they have any chance whatsoever of ever landing their dream job, no wonder businesses have no choice but to employ foreigners who have already been taught that they are scum and are good only for menial tasks. Work experience is part of the fight-back of welfare reform — based on the principle that working-class scum should do as they are told and get used to living in the grinding poverty that is all they deserve."

Is Ian Duncan Smith The Most Evil Man In Britain?


Ian Duncan Smith likes to tell everyone that he is a committed Christian but, despite his claims, is he in fact the most evil man in Britain? A cursory look at his record so far is most illuminating. Having inherited an economy in which unemployment was actually falling despite the banking crisis and the recession he applauded while George Osborne reversed this trend and sent unemployment climbing towards the stratosphere. He then immediately set about stoking up hatred towards the unemployed, accusing them of deliberately throwing themselves out of work in order to swop the average wage of £500 per week for the obvious attractions of £60 per week. He then instituted a programme of ritual humiliation, forcing people, many of whom were unemployed for the first time, to attend "back to work programmes" in which mindless drones bang on about positive thinking and writing the irresistable CV. This accomplished he then turned his attention to the disabled who, he assures us, are mainly fakes and benefit scroungers. The result was an unprecedented increase in attacks and public abuse against disabled people, many of whom don't actually claim any benefits at all. Now he has launched an attack on those who have children when out of work, conveniently forgetting the usual Tory propaganda about "family values," and suggesting that they only have children to access lucrative benefit payments that guarantee them a life of luxury. What is more he does all of this while completely ignoring tax avoidance by the rich that makes benefit cheating pale into insignificance by comparison, and the culture of bonuses for executives that has made failure in business completely irrelevant. It may be worthwhile to remind this committed Christian about the description of the anti-Christ who, it is said, "will claim divine authority as he works all kinds of counterfeit miracles and signs while doing all kinds of evil." So is he the most evil man in Britain? It's difficult to say when he shares company with the likes of David Cameron, Nick Clegg, Andrew Lansley, George Osborne and Miachael Gove. but the "News In Shorts" thinks he just edges it.
