Iain Duncan Smith calls for an increase in Universal Credit

[J Peasemould Gruntfuttock]

Seems he's turning into a human being. I've seen everything now.

The Government needs a reset when we get back, it needs to focus on putting money in people's pockets

Even his more humane quotes come across devoid of human empathy.

[shoulders]

Not really, just more Tories using elements of socialism for self-preservation.

[jobotic]

Humanoid work units must be kept at a certain level of sustenance to preserve efficiency.

Nah the bald cunt can get in a fucking grave full of shit and cum

Even his more humane quotes come across devoid of human empathy.

"When I saw the drowned immigrant toddler, my eye curiously developed a leak and I made a note to myself to request that my legal team raise this defect with the manufacturer".

Yeah if a goblin like him is saying put more money for the poor it instantly makes you think he's got some angle here. Maybe he's got some company who distributes things to the poor or he has some investment that makes money off the poor getting slightly more money or something. Those would be the short term scams.

The long term game would be maybe he's worried if they continue to rob off the state and crush the working poor and disabled in a giant compressor they'll have a revolution on their hands.

The only way I can see it being genuine empathy is if a close relative or family member somehow became destitute and he suddenly realised maybe it isn't people's fault they're poor after all. I fucking doubt it's that though.

Most likely it's just a piece of bullshit to give the press. Here's an extra tenner a year plebs. Now get out of the way of my sedan chair.

Notice the language, it's not put food on the table or make sure people are more secure, it's "put money pockets".

Just seems so cold and shit and capitalist.

[xxxx xxx x xxx]

Divide and conquer.

"Why should they get more money, I haven't had a pay rise" etc etc.

Suspect he's probably just feeling guilty about indrectly killing people.

Tories tend to lose any last shred of empathy in secondary school. That's where they learn that pool cleaners, gardeners, cooks and even the teachers are poorer and therefore inferior to them.

It was IDS who pushed George Osborne to do an above inflation increase in the minimum wage in 2016, handily bastardising the term 'national living wage' into the bargain.

[Replies From View]

He just wants to go to his grave being marginally better than his namesake AIDS

[Lemming]

He's trying to influence search engine results to salvage his poisonous legacy. If you searched "Iain Duncan Smith universal credit" before today, you'd probably be met with a wave of articles about his various human-rights-busting adventures as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, including (but by no means limited to): fit-for-work coma lady (who entered a coma due to IDS-induced stress), career advisors in foodbanks, "workfare", and various bedroom tax tales of terror. Not to mention the UN's report that confirmed that human rights violations were occurring in the UK, thanks to the disaster that is Universal Credshit.

Don't be surprised if his next statement is "I, Iain Duncan Smith, believe that Universal Credit needs to be raised to prevent a human rights violation from occurring, as defined by the UN. People are using food banks, which I, Iain Duncan Smith, celebrated author of 'The Devil's Tune', find unacceptable. People could even enter comas from the stress."

Migration from ESA to UC is starting, which will be interesting.

[prelektric]

He's an absolutely disgusting human being.

Do not trust anything that comes out of that hell-hole of a mouth of his.

In my new world order, he'd be one of the first strapped to the Great British Trebuchet.
