When the rich wage class warfare it is called austerity.

What drives a person to suicide? In Helen and Mark Mullins case it was poverty. Poverty not induced due to laziness or over expenditure, but by the simple fact they could not make ends meet. Forced to make 12 mile round trips by foot to bolster their meagre diet with vegetables from a soup kitchen and live in a house without heating.
And all due to the rights immoral crusade to purge the "scroungers of society".

In what can only be described as austerity aka class warfare upon the working class, the Tories with their Liberal buddies now have the blood of the Mullins and many others upon their hands. And this was in 2011.
As late as April 2012 the death toll of this crusade was around 32 people per week (see source 2) other estimates suggest around 73 people per week (see source 3), this is just people who are ill or disabled. Even at the lowest estimate that is 1664 people, 1664 human lives. And to what end?

What has this sacrificial offering to the great god austerity brought us? Well the effect to Mr Iain Duncan Smiths department is conclusively minuscule a look at the departments spending shows the biggest "cost" is in fact state pensions (see source 4).

So who benefits? Well the only logical conclusion is the government and its friends do. Why? The reasoning is two fold, firstly the influx of "work able" people into the employment market means that the the cost of labour is less due to the markets ability to supply the current demand. Simple put more = less.
This means that employers the traditional allies of the the conservative party get very cheap labour, meaning more profit for them.
The second the propaganda effect, the validation of the need for Cameron and his crew, the discrediting of the socialist cause, the validation of the idea that the welfare state creates scroungers and best of all the encouragement for the working people of Britain to turn on one another. All of these key in strengthening the class society and capitalism.

Cue spitting image on how to feed with the hungry poor/unemployed of Britain (some viewers may find this disturbing).
