3.5 million children live in poverty within the UK.

How about spending some of the Overseas aid on our own children.
The problem is that the Government ministers have come from Privileged upbringing and don't understand how ordinary people live (survive )

They are shameful statistics Caminito. Most of our generation worked all our lives to help build this country back up after the last world war, workers had skills that would match any in the world and now they are all but gone, never to be regained. It makes me weep to think that there are still children born to the conditions that we were all born to, the difference is that we didn`t know any different as everyone was in the same boat.  :'( Now there are the "haves" and "have nots" and sadly the "haves" always want MORE!  :(
Never look down on anyone, unless it is to offer your hand to help them up.
