Is Ed Balls the most annoying politician ever?

He won't.
Crystal balls or a touch of arrogance?Explain this for me if you have the time - disabled wheelchair users riddled with cancer with weeks/months to live have their benefits cut and/or stopped because the private company given the contract by this fine government decide they're fit for work. Hopefully, some are still alive to see the end of the protracted appeals procedure. Whistle blowers have claimed these decisions were made at top level - default is to cut everything then sort it out if appeals are lodged.
Once you've dealt with that would you care to move onto social cleansing masquerading as the bedroom tax?
Statistics might well prove middle classes are bearing the brunt of cuts but 20% of a decent living doesn't really compare to something like a 7% cut when you're on the breadline# or 100% if you fall foul of the 'roolz'.
- breadline - NOT having to chop in the third car to pay for private tuition...

"Social cleansing"? Well done, drama queen.

He f
king hides it well!The most annoying? I don't known if he's the most annoying but he is one of the politicians that has me reaching for the TV remote control mute button whenever he pops up on my screen. But then so do many others, including his boss - a problem for Labour given that I used to vote for those incompetents. If they cause that reaction in an ex-Labour voter I can only imagine what they do to a life-long Tory voter

I can claim that Ed Milliband is Zsa Zsa Gabor's secret lovechild, but unsubstantiated claims aren't the same as fact.Do you accept all statements as true, or just ones that suit your case?

Do you see the difference between someone going on record and detailing failures in systems and someone making half-arsed glib non-points on the internet?Do you accept all statements as true, or just ones that suit your case?
No?
As I thought.
