At least Corbyn would pour scorn on this reactionary attitude.<br />It id ironic that two Etonians should claim to define those worthy enough to deserve social security. The two child limitation is worthy of Chairman Mau.

They are playing the political "game" with great dexterity and succeeding in making Labour look foolish (Osborne in particular is very good at this.) <br /><br />However, they may get heir comeuppance down the line, given that the economy is actually in a very fragile state (deplorably low productivity and a massive balance of payments deficit.)

What probably depresses me most, there are lots of things, about the current government - probably Labour, if ever in power again, would do the same - is that their past and present legislative programme seems to be based around setting traps for Labour, rather than doing anything for the good of the country.Severn Boarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15542769703676984112noreply@blogger.com
