Disability campaigners quite properly poured scorn on millionaire minister Iain Duncan Smith yesterday following his comparison of benefit cuts to ending slavery. The Tory Minister for Work and Pensions became an object of ridicule after lauding his regime of savage benefit cuts and sanctions before an audience of politicos at his right-wing think tank, the Centre for Social Justice. Leeds-based activist Ian Morrison called the speech a complete and utter joke. Im an ordinary guy whos worked all his life. Ive paid into national insurance under the taxation system in this country. Thats what its for - to help when something goes wrong - but now Im being blamed for claiming it because Im a burden on society. Mr Morrison said many people were scared of publicly protesting for fear of retaliation, but disability benefits were life or death. -
