Courtesy Independent.....rvh precise....
Tories fear return of ``nasty party``in attack on welfare ``scroungers and skivers`
Ministers are `now`appalled by the Tory online advert.
Ian Duncan Smith has now joined the criticism of the language used by Conservative HQ.
The `scrounger and skivers`campaign started at the top of the Conservative Party and trickled down
through the rank and file and heavily used by the right wing.
One Tory Minister has said ``We have not got the language right at Conservative HQ and at the
Treasury ``
Many Tory MP`s are now saying they are appalled at the campaign to label hard working people
who lose their jobs as being `scroungers and skivers`
Sarah Wollaston Tory MP said we have to be very careful about the language we use,it is not right
to call the people on benefits as scroungers and skivers.
Vince Cable says he is uncomfortable with the language being used by our coalition partners
attacking people out of work,it is completely unacceptable.
It appears the propaganda adopted by Conservative HQ and its rank and file will suffer a severe
backlash........but mud sticks........... - 9 January 2013 22:44209263Peter, the definition is hardly mine...

[Your description of me, on the other hand, is entirely your own work.]
The poor are not parasites however. They have long been bred and readied for their position in a life, itself defined by others.
The poor are farmed, much as ants farm greenfly. Alas, perhaps because of the NHS, the poor no longer die off as quickly as hitherto.
You must get over the idea that your money is yours and that taxation and social security are theft of your money from you.
If ever the thought of ridding the world of the poor were to manifest itself in action, action would be taken, not as at present with a mere mouthing of the correct way forward:equality of opportunity etc., but with the supply of worthwhile work.
Unemployed people are detritus only because it suits people who speak as you do to treat them as such. Who in his right mind sends his horse to the knackers yard after each journey?Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing. - 9 January 2013 23:24209266#6, second para, a better synopsis of Karl Marx's chef d'oeuvre I have yet to read. You really do need to shake off this deterministic paradigm.
Third para manifests a belief in fairies.
Fourth para, how dare you put words in my mouth and then interpret them to suit your agenda? Last sentence a trivial irrelevance.I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson - Keith Sansum1
