He's complaining about a lack of press scrutiny for Tory welfare reforms, when the rank immorality and viciousness of his own welfare reforms went unremarked by a supposedly left-wing media (specifically the Independent and the Guardian) that's proven itself more concerned with middle-class identity issues that the reality of the life for Britain's poorest and weakest. Workhouse should go away and play with his flexible fridge magnets. Workhouse makes me laugh.

More along the lines of asserting that he would make a better job of being a bastard and implementing the vile Freud's ignorant and illiberal notions.It's a bit like hearing wife-beating going on next door, and getting irate, going round and absolutely battering <i>the wife</i>, saying to the thug "that's how you should be doing it".
