3 million children in poverty the highest ever!
The ever from when last year, 1950, 1940, 1930, 1920 ?
Are you equating so called poverty today with past poverty?
3 million children from a population of 70 million for get government figures that even thy can not prove and admit it on our population, The population in the 1940s was around 45million an there was real poverty then my parents grew up in it. Children died then through the combined effects of poor diet, poor housing poor health care, do not insult my parents generation you shxt. They started work at 14 yrs of age my grand parents started work at 12 years of age, poor diets out side toilets no hot water no proper baths only a tin bath that they took turns bathing in the same water.
Most poverty to day has been imported . the rise in rickets in the Asian population the return of TB again via immigrants .
Tell me how many houses have out side toilets and no baths or no hot water today, how many starving do you see walking the streets?
My parents and others never saw meat, they lived on muck, offal -pigs trotters, cows lips and lugs, tripe .
And when they dinned on muck Labour and Tory politicians dinned on steak !
During the 1930s Bevan the so called great Welsh Labour minister dined at the Ritz Hotel.
All through rationing of WW2 the wealthy including Churchill never lost a pound in weight neither did the then Queen .
My late father said the first time he had a bed with blanket's and three meals per day was when he was conscripted in 1940.And that would have applied to others parents and grandparents of those whom contribute to this board.
Poverty today =s fast food , Iphones , lap tops and a school run, mothers to fat and lazy to cook and no fathers names on the birth certificate .
Why even Angela Rayner MP, the girl who was pregnant at 16 yrs and got a council house which she bought cheap moans about being poor! but kept her £48000 profit secret for years.
