David Cameron stand up for the poor? You must be joking ! ! ! !

I saw this article today and I have to say, I was almost physically sick. To think that a man, who was lining his own pockets whilst the unemployment lines were getting longer and longer and the poor suffered under the tyranny of Margaret Thatcher, is capable of fighting for the poor is pretty much farcical. The person who has promised billions of tax cuts for the rich, provide for our poorest people? You must be joking.

Abolishing the 10 pence tax rate was a mistake, as many grassroots members of the Labour Party have expressed to the leadership, and they have listened and come up with a compensation package to provide for those who have lost out. But for this opportunistic repulsive rodent to say the Tories are the party of the poor makes me feel like I want to throw something at the wall.

To say that the Labour Party has abandoned the poor is beyond a joke. I'm not taking any lectures from a man whose party voted against the minimum wage or opposed working tax credits or voted against Labour’s record investment in our hospitals, schools and other public services. I’m certainly not taking any lectures from the man who was economic advisor the Norman Lamont on Black Wednesday, which destroyed the British economy.

David Cameron stand up for the poor? Oh look there is a squadron of flying pigs outside!
