RE: Austerity & Poverty.20 May 2019 14:34
You will never eliminate poverty,you might diminish it but never eliminate it.the bank of England ,the cbi and wealthy industrialist encourage and lobbyed the government years ago ,together with the likes of tony blair and,the labour party to allow unrestricted immigration for their benefit,on as you say cheap labour,certainly not to the majority benefit by any means this mean more demand on housing,hospitals etc etc. not we will reap the whirlwind of that because of ever increasing population and lack of birth control means we are being outbred. thgats before you start with any more coming into our tiny country.
Unemployment might be at its lowest but so is job quality, at today property prices coupled with low wages and living standards what chance for a mortgage without parent help? same with pensions ,most people cannot afford the payments in sufficiently to get a decent pension in years to come.
