Running scared of the media and media-led public opinion.

It's worth pointing out that IDS claims to be a Christian.

The question 'what would Christ do' is presumably not one that he would recognise.

The Christian approach is that they deserve it, no?



Seriously though, Christians appear to be very selective and mostly ignore the "love one another as I have loved you" theme.

For too many of them, a conscience isn't necessary because they have a God instead.

I believe that IDS is a Catholic. If he is, then I wonder how much time he has to spend at confession each week, bearing in mind all the hardship and misery that his bedroom tax will bring to so many decent people and their children.
