Return to Dickensian poverty?
Following on from the link provided by DrFilth in a previous thread...
http://www.telegraph....tired-and-hungry.html
How is this allowed to happen in this day and age?
There's a paragraph that claims a 6th former (16/17- right?) hasn't eaten for 3 days!
Surely even the poorest family could cobble 40p together to buy a reduced loaf from a supermarket?

i think some people have read a report or two in the papers and think all the rest on benefits have a jolly good time
what do you do when they stop your benefit payments and you have to borrow a mobile from a neighbour to phone them up
press option 1 option 2 option 1 and so on
when you do get to speak to someone they don't want to know , your money will be in your account within 3 days
1 week later still no money , you have to beg to get someone to lend you a phone
back to option 1 option 2 etc
your money will be in your account within the next few days
how would you pay your gas, leccy , community charge and food etc on £20 a week
after 11 months and only after a solicitor got involved did this person get some money

"grasping shareholders" Steve. Do you mean me? I have a few shares here and there to subsidise my pension. Or my children whose pension funds will be invested in shares no doubt? Or all the thousands of ordinary people in this country who pay into pension funds that have to be invested somewhere? And I don't remember ever having "carte blanch to impose whatever charges they like & nobody steps in their way, but many sufer. "
