What utter rubbish. You think there is something virtuous about poverty in the past? Poverty is poverty, it's all relative to the times we live in. So somebody on benefits runs a car. What do you think they should get, a horse? If the Tories hadn't wiped out public transport - trains & buses - the young could get to college and afford to take lower paid jobs. If they hadn't wiped out all the industries there would be factory jobs for lower skilled people. What jobs are there for them? Overseas factories wiped them all out and AI will come after the next tier. Money spent on benefits is a fraction of what is wasted by government on useless projects - HS2, Carriers, PPE etc etc. Lets stop triple lock pensions for a start. Much easier to blame the local young thicko that "somebody knows" though. And no, i'm not a "champagne socialist" whatever the hell that is.
