Well you know I've attracted a lot of criticism by, for example, suggesting that child benefit should be taken away from higher rate taxpaying families.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I can't control the criticism. It's something you certainly don't appreciate, but by the same token, everybody is entitled to their opinion.
Criticism of a policy is welcome. But in the garb of criticizing a policy, if you allege that the policy was made for corrupt purposes, I reject it.
My position has been consistent that middle class families should not pay more taxes. That hasn't changed.
I think the most effective forms of critique are ones that establish a common ground for people to occupy, and then appeal to the best nature of people on that common ground.
While having a profound impact on the development of values is surely an important job of a good parent, force-feeding opinions to them is not.
I think criticism of good work should stop somewhere.
I like criticism. It makes you strong.
Criticism is prejudice made plausible.
You are always going to have people criticizing, in one way or another, for their own personal reason.
It was just this interesting, my first, the first time you hear your child in any way criticise you. It's the worst review of your life and it's really relieving to find out that they don't know what they're saying.
