COULD IAIN DUNCAN SMITH REALLY LIVE ON £53 A WEEK?
The work and pensions secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, has claimed he could
live on £53 in benefits a week.........what an out of touch,not in the real world Plonker..........
Speaking on on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he said:
"We are in an economic mess. We inherited a problem where we simply do not have
the money to spend on all the things people would like us to do. What I am trying to
do is get this so we don't spend money on things that are unfair."
A petition has already been set up, which has over 3,000 signatures, that challenges
Smith to live on the amount for a year: "This would mean a 97% reduction in his current income".
Though a whole year might be unrealistic to ask of the politician, do you think he
should put his money where his mouth is and attempt to live on the amount for a week or two?
Once again tory policies totally ignore the `Human Cost` to millions....
