Primarily the disability benefit system needed sorting out, judging by the number of people who were driving around in cars, paid for by the state, who were quite able bodied.
I know of two particular cases, who had theirs taken from them, and what about the number of cases where so called disabled have been found playing golf, and carrying on as none disabled person do. I have also witness many who hold blue disabled parking badges, who will spend one hour walking around a supermarket.
IDS had the task to sort all this out, and managed to get the spending down, and in the process it was obvious he was going to upset some.
But it seems that now he is being continuously expected to impose even more cuts that are now beginning to effect those truly in need claimants, so he has done the honourable thing and said enough is enough.
Even though he has given up a very highly paid position, that is not enough for the left or some of the media, as they continue to lampoon the fellow.
Could the real reason really be, that Ian Duncan Smith is also in favour of coming out of Europe?
