Idiot IDeologieS: the thousands of people currently losing their homes due to the Government's arbitrary benefits cuts are, according to DWP Secretary Iain Duncan Smith,
'not suffering'.
But they are;
beyond his own
millionaire's
comprehension.

CAP LANDLORD'S RENTS,

LATEST:
Having lost the moral argument, the Government has
invoked a constitutionally dubious 'financial privilege'
to bypass the seven Lords amendments following
peers' rebellion against this abomination of a Bill.
Once again, the Con-Dems demonstrate their
complete contempt for democratic protocol!

seems to me as corrupt as consciousness of culture and absence of honesty can make it. A canting, lie-loving, fact-hating, scribbling, chattering, wealth-hunting, pleasure-hunting, celebrity-hunting mob
George Bernard Shaw
An Unsocial Socialist (1883)
The want of poetical power is the impelling force in the case of most versifiers. They would fain be poets, and imagine that the best way is to try to write poetry and to publish what they write. They will never see their mistake. Equus asinus still believes that the possession of an organ of noise is sufficient, with a little practice, to enable him to sing like a nightingale.
John Davidson (1857 – 1909)
