Child poverty in britain?

[legendis.god]

On the news theyre saying 4 million children in the uk are living in poverty.
How can this be true?
Disadvantaged children living in low income or poor homes.
But are they using the money thay have properly?

Are these poor families the same ones with pcs , x box and playstation consoles and a glut of gold jewwellery?
Are the parents to blame for not using the money correctly?


Or are there really all these poor folk with nothing in the uk after all ?

well all i can say is if you're daft enough to pay it then no wonder the UK is the joke of Europe.where else can folk live better on the dole than working on minimum wage ?
i ask you.

theres still very close contact between here and the UK with a very large expat community here.

do you think its only cheap booze fags and sun that keeps them here?

it would be a chavs paradise here if they were daft enough to throw away giros


i may seem stupid to those who dont look closely enough.


but i ain't stupid folks

This is the situation with the Spanish government, re immigrants from outside the Eu:

Unemployed workers receive about 70% of their salary for the first six months without a job, then up to 60% for up to two years. Under the proposed deal, workers would receive 40% of that money while in Spain and 60% on arrival in their home countries. They would then have priority in obtaining working papers if they reapplied to return to Spain after five years.

The Spanish government plans to offer unemployed immigrants advance payment of their benefits if they return to their countries of origin - and agree to stay there for at least three years.

Spain will try to persuade jobless immigrants to leave by offering to pay them a lump sum and then provide unemployment benefits in their home countries, the government said on Friday.

You said immigrants don't get benefit in Spain, when they very clearly do.
Those 19 countries are outside the EU.

Spain and the Canary Islands are not the Utopia you seem to think they are and the government is still very corrupted.

It was you who mentioned immigrants in the Canaries on this thread and said they don't get money from the Spanish government. They do.
