divebuddy - "Probably because they know that moon-howling lefties will go on and on and on about some piffling technicality rather than give any credit for actually helping people on benefits."
But if there is nothing wrong with the leaflet, then the lefties can howl until Doomsday, and they government can laugh at them for being fools with no point to make, and the government can ask what all the fuss is about.
But that’s not what happened is it?
The government did change their leaflet, they did withdraw the social media links.
IDS did deny that there was a problem, and dumped the issue on his Director of Communications, who promptly denied knowing anything about it!
Odd behaviour for a government department that has ‘done nothing wrong’, wouldn’t you say?
