Man dies of starvation after benefits cut.

[robkelk]

Government bureaucracy is insensitive and stupid.

In other news, water is wet, ice is cold, and it's dark out at night.

A man dies because the safety net that basic human decency should have given him a right to was destroyed - not failed, destroyed, not for any functional reason, but for greed and spiteful lies - and the only thing you can think to say about it is to attack the idea of having a safety net?

What the fuck?

It looked to me more like an insult to bureaucrats (one of whom is myself, BTW), not an attack on a concept.
