Earlier, this column drew concern over Iain Duncan-Smith's influence over the Conservative Party, for which read, influence over the Con-Dem government as a whole.
I am glad to acknowledge that LBR is not alone to be concerned with Mr Duncan Smith. Elements even within the Torygraph...whoops, sorry, The Telegraph have concerns too.

I particularly like the comment that Mr Duncan-Smith using the misleading statistic. This struck me particularly after listening to Radio 4's 'Thinking Aloud' program, broadcast to podcast on 27-10-10. On the show, Pat Thane of King's College London said that broken marriages are not down to lower morals in today's society.
People like Duncan-Smith seem to hanker for a golden age that didn't exist and are keen to blame the complex problems of society on to a lack of morality. Especially if those lacking in morality happen to be other people. It is good to see that at least some parts of the media are not prone to this type of babble.
