Could Ian Duncan Smith live on £53 a week?

Could Ian Duncan Smith live on £53 a week?

No. Anyone could probably do it for a week..... but in the long term, NO NO NO.

There is a petition for him to prove that he can (can't).

There seems to be no thought given to WHY people are not in work. These are my 3:

  • Not enough jobs.
  • Consumer/capitalist based economy.
  • Peoples ability to work (confidence, disability etc).

The government seems to think that all the above can just written off as 'lazy'.

It would be great if ALL people were helped in realising then achieving their full potential. That would be a great society.

    Exactly. Parents must take some responsibility too, though. It is negligent and arguably selfish not to  vaccinate a healthy child.

    Agreed.

    But when you've got self-appointed experts coming out with the sort of misinformation Mr Wakefield came out with, it is no surprise that many parents chose not to vaccinate.
