"You're just not worth it."

He's a cunt is the first thought that comes to my mind.

That goes without saying - he's a tory.

We are in danger of running out of words for this bunch of cunts

"It’s as if they are building an underclass. A few million cheap labourers, more cogs than people. It is really something to hear the people meant to represent you articulate the belief that you are not as good as others, that you are not of value. Disabled? Different? Less citizen, more fair game to be exploited."
 
Philip Davies MP suggested the same thing a couple of years back, there was a minor fuss at the time.
 
Apparently the state should top up the wages.... said the bloke from the Adam Smith institute :facepalm:
Yes, it's debatable what's worse, Freud's original comments or his attempted damage limitation claiming that he was looking to see how benefits could be used to subsidise employers.

tbh I think that the Adam Smith institute probably do think this a useful wheeze; with corporations and their owners no longer paying tax, what's not to like for capital about tax-paying workers subsidising businesses?
 
Its relevant to his usage of the word 'stock' to describe disabled claimants, terms used by the Nazis to designate victims

Buckaroo, its common knowledge with disability groups, have a look at the 'black triangle' site

that's all I will say on the issue.
 
I still want to know what he meas by 'certain mental health conditions'. Working as I do in mental health services, I want to know the answer to that very much indeed because I suspect it will reveal his sloppy, lazy, ill-informed thinking.

The claim he used stock is nonsense, i have no desire to defend him, but it does not stand up . I don't recall the nazis using such a word in such a way either. Stock is something of value for starters.
 
Yeah, he did "stock", the cunt. He's known for this sort of stuff...remember when he said...

“Clearly nobody goes to a food bank willingly. However, it is very hard to know why people go to them.”
 
On Tuesday 8th November, the welfare reform bill Grand Committee debated Time Limiting ESA to one year.

Bns Hollis (Lab leader) pushed Lord Freud (Gov sponsor of the bill) to provide a financial breakdown of how much the measure would cost.

In reply, Lord Freud seemed to say, quite clearly,

"Well my Lords, you can see the process here clearly as you move through the bulge of effectively, stock, taking on the transfer from IB to ESA....."

As you might imagine, twitter (we were live tweeting the debate to a wider audience) immediately exploded with indignation. "Did he just call us STOCK?" one person asked and many tweets followed, astounded to hear us referred to in such inhumane terms.

Stock - what does it make you think of? Cattle? Commodities? Perhaps when discussing human beings there are worse connotations.

Well, it would appear that the Hansard report has this transcript,

"My Lords, one can clearly see the process here, as you move through the bulge, of stopping as you take on the transfer from IB to ESA."

This now makes no sense at all. I am assured that the job of those transcribing for Hansard is to make sense where they believe someone has spoken in error or where the grammar is not clear. With this in mind, perhaps they simply could not discern Freud's meaning and changed it to this garbled phrase.

However, it seems rather coincidental that a word that caused such offence, such fear and shock, should be the very word unavailable for posterity.

I'll leave you to judge. You can watch from 17.43 and decide for yourselves.

So are you saying he's a Nazi?

I don't understand your point. That Jews can't use the same terms as the Nazis did? It is quite possible to get right wing Jews, you know.
 
Yeah, he did "stock", the cunt. He's known for this sort of stuff...remember when he said...
He's talking to the people who'll vote for him. He's taught them to think that way so the least he can do is keep it coming.
 
the detail doesn't matter anyway.

Exactly.

Even if Freud did use the word stock, and even if the Nazis did use it to refer to concentration camp victims, there is absolutely no reason or justification to make snidey refs to his jewish roots.

Call him on his use of the word, call him a cunt, but don't bring his supposed jewishness into it.
