And Over 75,000+ people sign petition demanding Iain Duncan Smith resigns over fake job centre sanction quotes.

He won't resign, he's too gutless. He should be sacked without the opportunity to resign.

We all know he won't be sacked! :(

I am not shocked to be honest. Despite being told I only said it to get sympathy - I really do not know what I'd do if I get on the wrong side of one of these assessments.

I also don't see him resigning (although I'd be happy to be proved wrong) as I'm sure he's succeeding in the what he's trying to do (in the govt's eyes).

Be fair, another 1,600 did last 4 more weeks.

It's really not great, is it?

Apologies, I deleted the post as it seemed, although not intended, too personal when I read it again.

I didn't take it that way - all I'll say is that when I've been in the situation (with regards assessments etc) I've had some pretty dark thoughts and I'm not going to make my family have to stump up to support me. I'll leave it at that.
