Oh You Selfish Naion?

[Theland]

how do yu voters feel about the tory win and the perpetuation of food banks, benefit sanctions, and grinding our weakest people into penury?
God help us for our lack of humanity

[Zacs-Master]

And comment like that don't help your credibility. Nothing happening at the Sally Army tonight?

[tamborine]

The poor with sky dishes & cell phones? Or those who dont speak the lingo? None are as poor as a homeless begging child in 3rd world, that is true poverty.

[ludwig]

Do you suppose that if Labour had won, they'd be able to bring an end to poverty? I doubt it.

[ummmm]

Do you really think that this country is not a generous country, regardless of government?

[Theland]

thank God for trickle down wealth, and by the time the super rich have had their fill, th odd chicken bone may fall to the masses

[Prudie]

Until 5 years ago Labour were in for 13 years - I suppose no-one was poor until then?

[Theland]

there is no end to the story of poverty

[Theland]

thank you dive, suffering can be a great source of humour

[Zacs-Master]

There no end to you talking bo****s.

[chrissa1]

You seem to be saying that Britain is made up of the "super rich" and the downtrodden poor, Theland.

You are forgetting about the millions of hard working, tax paying middle classes who are not, a drain on society.

Why?

Because they did well at school, enabling them to be qualified for a decent job when they left. Didn't have loads of children whom they couldn't afford

[chrissa1]

To pay for and expected the state to take care of.

Sorry. Pressed submit, too soon.

[bednobs]

didn't you vote then theland?

[anneasquith]

we are selfish, we tut tut about food banks, maybe donate some food, but the majority of us on AB have food/heating/medication/friends. don't be expecting things to end soon :(

[Theland]

Prudie, Labour are not God, yes they got lots wrong, but the principle of social democracy feeds people

[Zacs-Master]

Probably not old enough bednobs.

[Theland]

I had six children, worked 12 hours a day and night for the last twenty years of my working life.paid for them all

[shoota]

What is the principle of social democracy?

[Theland]

voted labour at age 64

[Theland]

social democracy - not pandering to the rich and powerful
