Blair targets fat cats and boardroom greed
    #5254684 - 02/02/06 10:51 AM (17 years, 11 months ago)

Only joking. Of course he targets the poor, sick and disabled instead.


FOR Tony Blair, a tenner is merely the price of a cup of coffee and slice of fancy cake.

Not that our Premier needs to dip his hand into his ?184,000 pocket very often, with Downing Street flunkies catering for his every need.

Which all adds up to growing disgust over his gleeful targeting of the sick and disabled living on a pittance.

A tenner's barely loose change to him, yet he has the cheek to call it a "perverse" disincentive to work for claimants.

Perverse? The perversity is a Labour government threatening to penalise poor people by cutting their benefit by ?10 if they refuse to attend back-to-work counselling sessions.

I cringed when Blair spoke in Downing Street of a "stock" of men and women on Incapacity Benefit, as if they were shop-soiled shoes difficult to shift.

His ordering the ailing to copy Lazarus and get up off their beds and sofas to find jobs is as impractical as it is callous.


It beats me how he's going to fit 2.7 million into 600,000 vacancies when unemployment tops 1.5 million and eight million of working age are jobless.


Blair's adding distress to the real health problems faced by those worn down by life or dumped on the scrapheap.

Right-wingers will cheer Iron Tony's latest Mr Tough Guy act and holler for him to beat harder with a bigger stick anyone needing financial support. Wheezing protesters and crutch-waving demonstrators outside Downing Street threaten another stain on a badly tarnished legacy.

Can you remember when Blair last laid into fat cats and condemned boardroom greed? No? Me too. I bet a tenner he never has.
