I can see an argument, both economic and philosophical that people ought to stand on their own two feet. I don't agree with it. I think that philosophy doesn't work well in practice and causes more problems than it solves and it also strikes me as pretty bleak and that we could do better as a species but I see the legitimacy of the debate.
What's getting me at the moment is the Tories inability to see that what is in their own personal and group interests is not the same as what is in the interests of other groups or the nation as a whole. Britain is not the Tory Party.
