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?

Naomi - As you know, there are several aspects to poverty, and figures to illustrate them abound from government departments and charities.
But why ask me to prove them?
They are there for everybody to read.
To deny there is a massive problem is simply wilful indifference and illustrates a rather shameful callousness.

Naomi - Yes, some are feckless and responsible for their own circumstances.
Some turn to low level crime, shoplifting, bike theft, car break in etc etc, and a whole economy grows up around them. Fiddling the meters, renting out such skills to others, and generally getting by without the need or the desire to work.
In all of that, and others not mentioned but inferred, you are quite right, as are others who have said similar.
But these remain in my opinion, a minority, sizeable but still a minority.

Sadly we now live in a country were we have a lot of conmen, cheats, cowboys, all in all we have a large percentage of people all trying to rip each other of for as much as they can. A good example of one area, are private landlords, they have been ripping off the benefits department for years, in turn creating homelessness.
Theland writes 'Many? How many? Half, a quarter, a tenth?' and then states 'there are several aspects to poverty, and figures to illustrate them abound from government departments and charities. But why ask me to prove them?
They are there for everybody to read.'
Do you actually remember what you write from one second to the next, Theland. You seem to have a butterfly like problem with your reasoning.
