The point that seems to being missed here is that IDS has demonised all unemployed people.
Yes there is a section of idle layabouts who wouldn't walk the lengths of themselves to get a job, never mind get a bus.
I doubt very much if the many honest people desperately seeking work will be taking too kindly to the generalised statement IDS has made. Insensitive to say the least. Talk about kicking people when they're down.
If this is an example of the caring side of the big society then we're well and truly screwed.
