Politics of prejudice: Now Tories want to penalise children simply for being born - Mirror.co.uk

Punishing children simply because they were born is the politics of prejudice.

Moralising Iain Duncan Smith will hurt kids by setting himself up as a family planner for impoverished parents.

Taking money from mums and dads automatically equals less for boys and girls.

And he'll hurt huge numbers of kids in working families as well as dole scapegoats.

The Minister for Mean is capping tax credits as well as child benefit.

That robs the six-in-every-10 poor kids who have a low waged working parent relying on a top-up from the State.

It is a sick Government that condemns abortions then attacks cash for kids.

Dad-of-four I'm Alright Iain will be OK.

The Minister for Mean lives in wife Betsy's ancestal mansion, with a swimming pool and tennis court.

He must need a heart of stone to sleep at night.
