Try reading it again without the red misty goggles.
Saying that one person's comments are offered more intelligently is not the same thing as saying the other person's comments lack intelligence. Not the same thing at all. One is a relative statement and the other is an absolute.

so what is around £900 a year loss then? that some of the non workers are losing??!!

No, it's not madness, but the fact that you can't see the point he was making is very telling.
The benefit reforms are supposed to make it more worthwhile to work than not to work. They are also meant to address the injustice felt by many low-paid, hard-working people that they have friends and neighbours who are better off on benefits and not working at all.
Taking the government's message about welfare reform and sharing it in front of an audience of workers who will be happy to hear it is simply good politics.
