@BBCRadioManc I take it they all will be removing books of Roald Dahl for his antisemitic views and Lewis Carrol with his penchant for young girls.
Walliams hasn't been charged with anything. The content of the books hasn't changed.
Utterly ridiculous

@JoshuaFNichol Good. Showing some common sense

@FloydBoyd20 @stevenufc3 @NE5westend Yes, good old 50p head. He was truly awful

@CaveDwellingRat @Calvinuz @bdavisrice @UKLabour As a working person, good luck with that. Of course, if you're on certain benefits, you get eye tests for free.
The proposal isn't denying genuinely disabled people access to benefits.
The bill wasn't about coerced suicide FFS.

@smerkinkones @CaveDwellingRat @bdavisrice @UKLabour So what? The country can't afford to pay for everyone's welfare. That's reality. We don't live in a rich country, so get used to it.

[Matthew Peak @MATPEAK]

@mattbeechey @Frencheconomics I agree. My point was about context. In theory, increased GDP is good. In reality, it rarely improves fiscal/social inequality. But, yes, increased GDP is better than not, even if only to help pay down debt!

@CaveDwellingRat @bdavisrice @UKLabour I had supported Labour all my life. I worked in the NHS and saw genuine vulnerability every day.
As a country we have to confront we are broke and current welfare can't be afforded. We are a second world state. Harsh as it is, the welfare state must be calibrated to our means.

@BillyNineLives @Adrian_Hilton Alleged behaviour in Walliams' case.

@beanz2809 Pleasure

[Matthew Peak @MATPEAK]

@BillyNineLives @Adrian_Hilton Isn't that the point though? As yet, nothing has been proven or substantiated.

[Matthew Peak @MATPEAK]

@CaveDwellingRat @bdavisrice Even @UKLabour admit welfare is out of control. Country is broke and we can't afford it. That's unequivocal. There will be pain for some people. That's just the way it is.
There are far too many people on excessive PIP who don't need it. It's now a matter of who feels the pain

@sofiaxsmith @5thNobodynorman @jack_w_cfc My kids and their friends enjoyed the ones they read. Millions sold. It's not intended to be philosophical literature.

[Matthew Peak @MATPEAK]

@5thNobodynorman @jack_w_cfc And Roald Dahl, the anti-semite?
This binning of books of an author who hasn't even been charged with anything is typical of how shit UK society is. Schools and libraries which throw out his books should have budgets cut commensurately

@BradP2002 @Steven_Swinford This is the point. Now proposing to spend £Bns on pseudo job creation schemes - after increasing NI etc which has massively reduced growth and jobs, especially for younger people. Plus reduced tax intake as a consequence. Utter madness from @UKLabour (which I used to vote for)

[Matthew Peak @MATPEAK]

@stevenufc3 @NE5westend He was absolutely awful. Add to that, Ray Clarke, Bobby Shinton and Mavis Reilly. Wissa is bad (also v expensive) but in pure football terms, nowehere near as abysmal as that lot
