Letter: Too much power

What next from Iain Duncan Smith?

Workhouses, slave camps, chain gangs and deportation of the working classes and the poor; how easy it is to kick the poor and the unemployed when they are already on the floor and make them all out to be the pariahs of society. In my opinion IDS is going too far; he is starting to sound like a fascist military dictator. Is this what happens when military men are given too much power in government?
