How dare the insult to humanity Iain Duncan Smith liken himself to a great emancipating figure like Wilberforce, trying to end welfare dependence as though it was akin to slavery? Here, the murderous piece of shit frames welfare as a form of persecution, ”promising to end the ‘twilight world’ of entire communities that are reliant on benefits”. The contrast with his real motives is what gets to me: IDS does not give a fuck about setting people free; he does not care about anyone’s liberty but his own and that of his rich, tory-voting friends. His only motive for reducing welfare is to reduce taxes – the people he leaves stranded and isolated can starve for all he cares. To see this p’tahk dress what he is doing up as some noble quest when thousands have already died through his barbarity chills my blood. People have been found ‘fit to work’, booted off disability benefits and told to find a job, only to be found dead weeks later. IDS, had he lived in the eighteenth century, would probably have been one of those lave owning bastards opposing Wilberforce, arguing that hard work did his slaves good.
