GEORGE OSBORNE’S PHILPOTT COMMENTS: WICKED AND UTTERLY DISHONEST

George Osborne’s attempt to use the deaths of the six Philpott children to further his desire to undermine the welfare state was wicked and utterly dishonest.
The fact that these children died in a horrific fire didn’t seem to trouble him.  How does he sleep at night?
The Chancellor implied that the dysfunctional Philpott family were typical of people claiming social security benefits, but he knows that’s simply not true. 
To start with, how many families have 17 children in this day and age?
If he really wants to reduce the social security bill he should be kick-starting the economy to stimulate jobs and growth, which would in turn reduce unemployment.
He could also increase the minimum wage thereby reducing the state subsidy of low paid employment. 
And he could do something about the inadequate supply of genuinely affordable housing to reduce the scandalously high rents many working families are forced to pay.
But instead he prefers to give massive tax cuts to millionaires while pickpocketing people on low and middle incomes. 
George Osborne is Robin Hood’s alter ego stealing from the poor to give to the rich. That’s why we must vote him out in 2015 – along with his Tory and Lib Dem cohorts.
