Dear me. IDS patronisingly putting down Salma with "do me a favour, we listened very patiently while you spoke". #whitemensprivilege #bbcqt

IDS on Question Time: "Ask him about the Red cross being in the country, ask him about the disabled…the suicides…the people who have taken their own lives..been shamed..the workfare programme...forced into slave labour death camps for corporations profiting from free labour..dodgy statistics, lies, child poverty..BBC…he's there with his smug face.never asked him one question .you the architect of austerity..you claim for your underpants …house with one and half million pound…subsidies…bailiffs..bedroom tax…million pound house..do you enjoy hurting people. It isn't about envy..the central core of ideological austerity…cuts to people's lifelines, to vulnerable people, unemployed, sanctioning, foodbanks treatment of disabled the suicides. This define this government..housing bubble,this isn't a recovery it’s a robbery.. £ billions pounds going to private corporations..never asked him one question..BBC propaganda protectionist machine..shield, gate keepers of the government"

Do disabled ppl matter so little to the @BBC ? 700,000 disability benefits backlog & IDS not questioned on #bbcqt Why?

As spokesperson for #IDS @dwppressoffice can you confirm BBC cut deal with IDS that no questions on welfare were to be selected?

Action in above video of IDS arriving to take part in recording the BBC Question Time programme starts at 2:40 in video when IDS arrives in his car and refuses to discuss question raised on the deaths and suffering as a result of his and UK government policies

Iain Duncan Smith and Esther McVey also ran away from Sonia Poulton:

Yes, Iain Duncan Smith is vile, that's why we were forced to chase him and @EstherMcVeyMP https://t.co/3XmJULMKEX #newswithoutfilters

An example of what has become typical repeated 'scrounger' rhetoric from the mainstream media, especially tabloid press, popular television and government since 2010:
