Petitions don't solve everything, you know...

…but sometimes, they can be damn funny!

Taken from BARF's website:

This one has got 75,000 signatures in less than 12 hours, and is at over 465,000 now.


It calls for Iain Duncan Smith, the current Work and Pensions Secretary, to prove his claim of being able to live on £7.57 a day, or £53 a week.

On a recent Today Programme David Bennett, a market trader said that, after his housing benefit had been cut, he lives on £53 per week. The next interviewee was Work and Pensions Secretary and all-round cunt Iain Duncan Smith, who was defending the changes. The interviewer then asked him if he could live on this amount. He replied: “If I had to, I would.”

So the petition calls on Iain Duncan Smith to live on this budget for at least one year. This would help realise the Conservative party`s current mantra that “We are all in this together”.

This would mean a 97% reduction in his current income, which is £1,581.02 a week or £225 a day after tax.

Mind you, if he was obliged to go onto benefits-level income, he may well feel obliged to burn six kids to death as part of a crazy scheme, because that’s apparently what all dole scroungers are up to, according to Osborne.
