Outrage is growing around the net. They have a twitter account and fb page where people are commenting. I suggest people email their local MPs to express their disgust at these arrogant little people.

They're also on twitter @irisworldwide
I also would be confident this thread will draw those MSE members similar to the ad agency who also make the same generalizations about those on benefits. Don't feed the trolls if they come. They love the conflict. Ignore and they will get bored and start playing with their yoyo's instead.0 -
Thanks, Yuki. I'm on Twitter but almost never tweet, still, this seems like a good reason to.
There's a sort-of apology
