Slam Duncan

I have to applaud the genius of Iain Duncan Smith, who has abolished child poverty simply by abolishing the concept in the relevant statistics.

If you don't ask the question, then you can't be given the answer.

Sometimes, I sincerely wish that I had never gone to university. I might still have been as creative a thinker as Iain Duncan Smith.

  1. I applaud the inventiveness of the Left who invented child poverty by inventing the absurd concept of "relative poverty" which means you can redefine what "poverty" means every few years.

    1. Point proved.

      You people are hopeless. Basically just thick. That's the truth about the Right in Britain. It has no intellectual base whatever, and it is proud of that sorry fact.

    2. Careful, you know they are prickly when it's pointed out. As you have said before on here, they only have Scruton and they have obviously never read him he is just "the one with the books" to bring out if anybody asks to see such a person.

    3. They have certainly not understood him, as Enoch Powell also said of Margaret Thatcher when she claimed to have been influenced by his books.

      Scruton is fascinating but utterly sui generis. There is no sign of his influence anywhere in or around his own party. But they have no one else.

      Look at what they scratch together when they have to find a Cabinet from somewhere.

      Yet these are their finest and most polished minds. The rest of them are even worse than Osborne and IDS, braying and belching like nothing else on earth.
