This guy is not just a looter

in response to this self-serving drivel by a looter former solicitor:

I’m not quoting this stuff because it’s too incoherent and if I pick bits out it looks like I’m cherry picking to make him look bad (which in general I’m not opposed to). If you care read the linked post.

Did you not have the capacity to foresee that, just perhaps, you might fall ill?

What did you buy instead of some sort of insurance or other financial instruments?

Are you more or less deserving of state largess because you are an intelligent, well educated and skilled?

Is it not fraud to apply for and accept IB when you can clearly take a job (as you did in fact do).

Why is it morally justified to go on a holiday abroad to when you are about to make a benefit claim?

Is it right or wrong to ask for – claim, in fact – money from others (indirectly) extorted by threat of force?

So then Martin, do you consider your self a morally bankrupt parasite or not?

If not, why not?

Me, angry.

Note 2 things:

1. It’s not wrong to claim IB. If you think that’s what I’m saying your wrong and you need to keep coming back here.

2. This is a posting, as far as I can tell a supportive posting, on a the blog of the founder of LPUK.

If you, in some sense, don’t get this please and actually care, please keep reading this blog because there’s clearly a massive disconnect between the people who are claiming to represent at least on stream of libertarian thought in the UK (and for the record, that ain’t me!) and err, libertarian thought.

Please don’ t trust or believe me. I’m not going to give you chosen spun links and what not. Google like mad. Read. Think. Read some more. There are no welfare libertarians. None.

And the thing that really pissed me off? This:

I should say I’m probably not a ‘typical’ Incap claimant, if such a beast exists. A solicitor by training and writer by inclination

Ahh. Not chav you see, so that’s ok then.
