As many as 100,000 children from working families will be forced into poverty as a result of the Government's plans to cut benefits for the poorest, ministers have admitted for the first time.

Official figures show that a total of 200,000 youngsters from all families will be pushed into child poverty as a result of George Osborne's 1 per cent cap on benefits from April, in effect a real-terms cut in welfare payments. But Steve Webb, the Liberal Democrat pensions minister, revealed in a parliamentary written answer last week that 50 per cent of those children come from families where at least one parent is in work.

They're really tightening the screws lately on benefits recipients. It's one thing after another. But I hope it backfires on them.

Apart from the obvious shameless festival of poverty creation, what also bugs me is bullshit like this -
Last week, the Work and Pensions Secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, delivered a speech calling for a redefinition of child poverty to take addiction into account. He said handing out more in benefits to the poorest families would not address the issue of child poverty because too many parents would spend it on alcohol or drugs, and that parental addiction was the main factor in determining a child's life chances.

The speech was designed to defend huge cuts to the welfare bill and the Government's focus on back-to-work programmes that would help those with alcohol or drug addiction. Yet Labour said the speech ignored evidence welfare cuts were hitting working families hard.

What the fuck????

Use of crack and heroin in the UK population is declining you fucking moron. And once you subtract the people who on a script and not buying any drugs and the people who don't have kids you're a long fucking way off from this to have anything to do with 200,000 children in poverty. But what was at the root of the last heroin epidemic?- that's right - it was all those people chucked into poverty when Thatcher sold off half the country to private capital at bargain basement prices leaving entire communities full of unemployed people struggling to get by and with no prospects - stuff not unlike what your current policies are causing you fucking cretin. Honest to God - is this vacant fuck honestly surprised that poor people might turn to the pop or get on the gear because they've got fuck all else left to enjoy??? About the biggest cause of domestic strife is problems with money - this causes a lot of stress.

I mean, they're all a shower of bastards, but IDS is frighteningly mental. The guy doesn't have a clue about anything. He should be in an institution for the terminally bewildered, not helping run the fucking country. If you cracked open his head you'd probably find an action man voice box connected to a steaming turd.

I mean - we're throwing thousands upon thousands into poverty but it's all because they're on drink or drugs - the guy is loonytunes.

I cant see this happening in the near future myself but it would be good for mankind if it happened.

What I think will happen is that each strata of society will be attacked by the obscenely rich.

The level above the ones being attacked will ignorewhat is happening to the people bellow them and then it will be their turn.

The boot boys of the obscenely rich the police are starting to feel the wrath of there puppeteers which they would have never expected a few years ago.

The police should change their allegiance and work with the people.

.

This is a fairly safe-bet as it has always worked this way, from what I can see. It has been suggested by various people that I moan at that this year, something different will happen because of what they've been up to and what they have planned.

I honestly don't see it happening though...haven't we all been here before? Perhaps it's just a human weakness to behave like this, in which case, I suppose we deserve everything we get (or don't).

There is absolutely no fucking need for "100,000 more children to be plunged into poverty"!

Put the idle little bastards to work.

You can't tell me that there isn't a major western electronics, clothing or footwear manufacturer who wouldn't want to cut the cost of shipping shit from the far east by manufacturing it right here!

Knock up a few treadmills and let's start addressing our energy needs as well!
These lazy rugrats have gotten away with freeloading of us taxpayers for far to long!

Come on mr cameron, close the schools and bring in workfare for kids - two money spinners in one. You know it makes sense.. ;)
