Homeless Children Record Numbers Shame
Clegg, Cameron and May should hang their heads in shame for allowing on their watch so much poverty and homelessness particularly affecting children.
It is correctly described as a national scandal.
Under the Tories, being poor is a crime and punished with even more poverty.
Unless Boris is made of different stuff, how can he expect support from anybody with a social conscience?

Oh right - but swelling the pockets of the rich also swells the pockets of the poor because without business and the people who invest in business there are no jobs - and who suffers then?
Can you answer my question please? Tell me what benefits there are to the poor in voting for this Labour party?

Yes Naomi - The benefits are a national investment policy to create wealth, something the Tories have abysmally failed at, except for the few.
Eliminate cruel benefit policies leaving people relying on food banks.
Building more social housing, and hopefully an end to right to buy, which decimated our housing policy from the days of Maggie.
Anyway, maybe back later.
Got to leave now, lots to do, and don't feel like doing it.

teacake, it is pointless comparing poverty of today to 1920s poverty and say that today's poor are rich. Nothing is as it was in the 1920s.
By the norms of today, some children live in very poor conditions and are indeed impoverished. It is a fact that some children do not have enough food to eat and go to bed cold. It is a fact that some children are homeless. It is a fact that some girls cannot go to school at certain times of the month. That is not my idea of being rich.

Theland, typically full of pie in the sky hand-wringing along with the usual derogatory references to the ‘Blue Rinse Brigade’ and ‘fans of rubber chicken fund raising dinners’, but still no rational explanation for voting for this Labour party with its disastrously damaging policies to govern this country. How would alienating business help the poor when all that would achieve is job losses and price rises right across the board? Tell me?
hc4361There was six of us in our family without a farther, I was cold when I went to bed, I didn't have enough to eat, there is a lot more help now, no such thing as a food bank then, and there is help for girls in the month ( red box) the benefits are there. Its how a family use them that's the problem. The family that were on tv last night had a twenty pack of fags on the arm of the sofa, and a bigger tv screen than me.
