When "fairness" means "self interest and hatred"

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/04/06/benefit-reforms-cameron-welfare-_n_3029737.html?utm_hp_ref=uk   Benefit Reforms Are Putting 'Fairness Back At Heart Of Britain' Says Cameron   Wrong Cameron. Benefit "reforms" are generating division, self interest and hatred in Britain. Ensuring that society is divided against itself on the question of welfare, is yet another tactic in the "divide and rule" philosophy employed by the Tory's since 1918 and even before. This time however, you have gone too far as more and more people recognise the pernicious cynicism of Tory intent. Rothermere of the Daily Mail and even News International may provide you, Osborne and the others with a platform to peddle your hypocritical ""We are putting fairness back at the heart of Britain" deception, but for many the mask of Tory rectitude has been removed.

Inciting schisms for political purposes.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2013/apr/05/pm-osborne-linking-philpott-welfare  Cameron backs Osborne over comments linking Philpott case to welfare. .   David Cameron has strongly endorsed controversial comments by George Osborne, in which the chancellor highlighted the killing of six children by Mick Philpott to raise questions about welfare payments The Tory leader now joins Osborne in the slime of the sewers along side the Daily Mail. The stench of government malevolence now emanating from Downing Street, contaminates British politics and ensures that the divisions between those who have and those who have not, will grow wider and more bitter. The polarisation of society is inevitable and irreversible as the Tories pursue their campaign of contempt and injustice. 

Osborne links Philpott case to benefit reform

"....subsidising lifestyles like that". How will Osborne, or anyone else for that matter, differentiate between Philpott and his family from Derby, and the Smith family of the same size living in Warrington? Is there an assumption that any family with more than a specified number of children, are automatically scroungers living on welfare benefits? Osborne is on very thin ice when seeking to make political capital out of this case. It was not the "welfare state" that was responsible for this crime, nor was it the Philpott "family" collectively. It was Mick Philpott and two accomplices who carried out this appalling act. Specifically describing Philpott, Judge Mrs Justice Thirlwall commen...

The most despicable and reprehensible excesses of British newspaper "reporting".

 The Daily Mail exceeds all limits of decency and responsible news coverage. The "vile" Daily Mail.  This front page, taken from today's Daily Mail, rates amongst the most despicable and reprehensible excesses of British newspaper "reporting", standing alongside and arguably exceeding the Hillsborough coverage by the Sun. For any "Newspaper" to suggest that a criminal act of such evil motivation and tragic outcome, is a consequence of a welfare state established to protect the health and well-being of its citizens, especially those in financial or social need, is an insult to to the ideal of the system and every single person reliant on it. True there are those people, such as Mick Philpott who abuse the system, but that does not excuse or justify the warped logic of the Daily Mail to imply that all benefit claimants are of the same inclination. The Daily Mail abuses its position to make snide political points, as their contribution to the o...
