Did anyone listen to the actual broadcast? From the article, the only 'profligate' thing they did was have a pet. She asked if they had Sky, etc - what was the answer?

So you are saying that people do not have the common sense to take responsibility for themselves? the whole point of Tory ideology is that people take their own responsibility so equating them with labour is a lie

Agreed.

It amused me how the story and the comments polarised the 2 views. Regardless of whether the woman had squandered the money.
Edwina promotes Tory values of responsibility. The comments are full of rabid lefties pushing the "we owe them" mentality.

I'm just saying that there are more deserving recipients of a tongue lashing from Mrs Currie.

Now you're talking!

Although she's a bit long in the tooth for me these days.

Seems a little harsh. It's not like they are feckless welfare spongers is it?

Ok, they should have put more money aside when they were working but they were no doubt living the lifestyle that they were encouraged to by not just Labour but also the party of which Mrs Curry is a member.

Though I am a bit disappointed she did not suggest eating the dog....

I don't care much for John Major, either, but 'dog' is a bit strong.
