So you tell us Andy, 1986 was deep in the era of the milk snatch, society was in perpetual decline and decay, and yet you don't see the irony in that,,,,,and TBH we've all heard many RWhinge anecdotes on how they've struggled with poverty and succeeded.BigAndy9 wrote:scrat wrote:

Perhaps you can enlighten a future generation of poverty stricken children on how you managed to overcome your homeless without any support from the government, because thats the reality and it's coming our way.

Scrat, NO child in "poverty" as you put it.If any are in poverty blame the parents who must have money for bingo, fags,beer,holidays abroad ect. If you see any in "poverty" report it to Social Services, they will check up [if your lucky]Sick of these left wing idiots shouting about poverty,if you want to see real poverty go to parts of Africa,India ect. In the meanwhile shut the fuck up with your bullshit posts trying to make out we would be better off under Labour.

Re: More Child Poverty UK!
Wilson stopped Government spending on milk for children over 11, after it had been shown most of them were not drinking it and their bones were already formed. He gave Councils the option to pay for it if they thought it necessary. Thatcher stopped it for children in primary school, who were drinking it, and who still had bones forming, so it was good for them, and also stopped Councils from funding it. Rather a difference Nicko.

Re: More Child Poverty UK!
How many times has this milk snatcher argument to be played out?......
Nicko...Thatcher did stop out for primary schools and made it illegal for any council to supply free milk for them...
Wilson stopped it for secondary schools, but did not make it illegal for councils to supply then if they asked for it...the uptake for secondary school milk was so low anyway.

It's nothing new having to fix the wrongs of the rights if bet what I'm saying Andy!
The rot had to stop, hopefully Labour can have the opportunity to stop the most vulnerable being picked on again by the RW led coalition by way of ditching the bedroom tax and being the cause of people starving to death while waiting on benefits coming through to which they should be entitled to from the date they apply.
We must stop this RW madness and cruelty right now...picking on the poor, disabled, elderly and most vulnerable people...(yes, benefit scroungers in your eyes Andy).

Define poverty in the UK. Having no mobile phone? No Wii? Having to wear second hand clothes, or God forbid, Primark? No takeaways? No Sky? Or is it a case of parents spending more on fags, booze and drugs rather than food? With the UK benefits system, no child should be in poverty. If they are, it's the fault of the parents not the state. If you can't afford kids, don't have them. The problem with the UK is that there is a general sense of entitlement that stinks the whole country up. I've seen massive poverty in my travels. Massive. Living in the UK is a walk in the fucking park by comparison.

Define poverty in the UK.
Individuals, families and groups in the population can be said to be in poverty when they lack resources to obtain the type of diet, participate in the activities and have the living conditions and amenities which are customary, or at least widely encouraged and approved, in the societies in which they belong.
Benefit
What it shows is that the Department for Welfare and Pensions is the biggest spending department in the UK - spending £166.98bn in 2011-12, which is Of that huge sum, £159bn was spent on benefits - an increase of 1.1% on the previous year. That is 23% of all public spending.
Ask people where that money goes and the assumptions might be on unemployment or incapacity benefit. In fact, 47% of UK benefit spending goes on state pensions of £74.22bn a year, more than the £48.2bn the UK spends on servicing its debt.
Tax avoidance and evasion.
The cost of tax avoidance and evasion to the UK economy is estimated @ £260 million,,,,,,a day!!!
The only benefit system I can see is the £70bn being swindled out of the British tax payer by tax eVaders and £25bn by tax avoiders, and then there's the £1.3 TRILLION stashed away in tax havens.
"No child should be in poverty" was bleated by this particular RWhinge cretin, and yet the Victorian illness "rickets" has returned.
Who does this particular RWhinge cretin blame, the parents,,, for bringing them forth into this world.
Wake the fuck up.

Re: More Child Poverty UK!
That's a great post Scrat, with research on facts and figures...
The fact is there IS definitely child poverty in the UK..but not on the scale of Africa, but many kids go without proper meals ever day...
And I think free school meals is and has been the saviour for many children.

Re: More Child Poverty UK!
Britain's child poverty plans are "doomed" to fail as 3.5 million children will be in poverty by 2020, says a watchdog chaired by former labour minister and health secretary Alan Milburn.
A labour twat making up lies and spin......
What a surprise!!!
This from the labour party who were happy to pay benefit claimants up to £100,000 a year.....
That'll stop poverty won't it Scrat?
At least for The dole busters, shame about all The hard working people who were paying for it eh?

That definition is a bit vague because many things are now customary, and things which were once luxuries are now considered to be essential. Could you be more specific as to what you mean by poverty?

Now then now then.
Here is the problem for BigAndy9 - this is quite obviously a modern, Western description of poverty to get more money out of the workers to dish out to the lazy non-workers.
If this is the real description of poverty then nobody in most of Africa is living in poverty, are they? It is the norm to have nothing, therefore none of them are in poverty.
Come on scrat... in fact, forget it, i won't ask you again, i'll tell you:
Poverty is not having shelter and clothing to protect you from the elements and food to keep you properly nourished.
Now then now then.

It seems to me that it's all to do with where you happen to be born. If you're born in the UK, you should be entitled to a TV, car, mobile phone, new trainers, etc, just because a lot of people have those things. I don't think that going without those things could be considered to be living in poverty really.

Your ignoring the facts and looking at this form a mor RW view, there are kids who go hungry on a daily basis here, ony eating a bare minimum to to survive each day, perjphaps only school dinners and maybe a piece to toast for tea....
And it's not beaches every unemployed or low earning parent blow it on fags , booze etc...the majority of poverty in this country is simply the cost of living dwarfs income. Helped on by the scumbag bedroom tax this Tory led coalition introduced.

Re: More Child Poverty UK!
The definition of poverty is relative to the society we live in.
Diet
In Africa any nutrition available because this can be a life or death situation.
In Europe, society is aware that a healthy lifestyle is less of a drain on the public purse.
It promotes healthy living, whilst at the very same time promoting greed, obesity, and gluttony.
The RWhinge want the poorest and most vulnerable British people to foot the bill for city vultures and parasites "fuck everyone else" greed. The RWhinge want poor people to stand out from the rest so that they might point the finger and mock them, "it woz them wot did it" is the cwy, "we took away their money and they couldn't keep up with the bills",,,, they want to see the poor form orderly queues at food banks, and make them wear armbands to disassociate them from the rest.
Who gains from poverty?

How are poor people footing the bill? Do you mean people who pay tax? Of course they pay tax because they benefit from public services.

It promotes healthy living, whilst at the very same time promoting greed, obesity, and gluttony.b
The RWhinge want the poorest and most vulnerable British people to foot the bill for city vultures and parasites "fuck everyone else" greed. The RWhinge want poor people to stand out from the rest so that they might point the finger and mock them, "it woz them wot did it" is the cwy, "we took away their money and they couldn't keep up with the bills",,,, they want to see the poor form orderly queues at food banks, and make them wear armbands to disassociate them from the rest.
Who gains from poverty?
Most correct Scrat..,there is just no way everyone can follow the governments advice by eating healthy and five a day and so on, the price of veg and fruit has rocketed, not to mention those living in rural areas with less choice of shops to choose from...
There is just no way poor folk could afford to eat healthy as well as the upkeep of a house and bills to pay..
Rags just bleats the same nonsense as he friends Andy, VOD, Favva, Kaka etc.
Deny deny deny.

What is your definition of poverty in the UK? The official one is too vague.
How are poor people footing the bill? Do you mean people who pay tax? Of course they pay tax because they benefit from public services.
Poor people have been forced by the tories to work harder and longer for less, that's footing the bill.
Taxation is the price of democracy, I'm not worried about those that pay their taxes I'm more concerned at those citizens who do not,,,,£260 MILLION,,,,,a day!!!
Why do you wish to treat British people so badly, don't you want the best for your own people?
Well could you expand on that definition? Give examples?
I asked you before how people were working harder and longer for less? Do you mean that they can't get the State pension until they're older than before? I know all about that - mine has been put back six years!

Well actually, I agree with you about the five a day thing. It's absurd when you think how much fruit and veg one family would have to buy. I think it's rubbish anyway, and it's just making people paranoid. Besides, I thought it had gone up to ten a day now.

Ah Nicko...I've always known Scrat to be a most honourable and honest gentleman chief, with manners to suit, he has a good nose for the liars and stands for equality and fairness...
He can more than dish it out if given it too, but Scrat never picks a fight, but he often does finish many mate.
The same Scrat I have known for almost five years or so now
Scrat is a pillar of forum life and we are lucky to have him here standing up to racism, hatred, picking on the poor etc..
Like Gordon Brown, Scrat is a national treasure!
Not to mention a wealth of information!
His posts are more fantastic, not fanatical...
He stands up to and sniffs out RW lies and spin

What a surprise!!!
This from the labour party who were happy to pay benefit claimants up to £100,000 a year.....
That'll stop poverty won't it Scrat?
At least for The dole busters, shame about all The hard working people who were paying for it eh?
So you approve of just handing out massive sums of money to those who refuse to get off their arses and go to work and make their own money?
Alan Milburn is a lying labour twat.
Enough money is dished out through child benefit and tax credits for every child in this country already.
It is cheaper to buy fresh And healthy foods and cook yourself to feed a family than it is to eat junk and take aways.
The problem lays with the parents.
And it costs nothing to go for a walk or run or for kids to exercise by playing any number of other games.

Not a chance nicko. Scrat has rinsed these guys over there so many times that I would think he's just got bored with them - it does get boring after a while. But you have to keep going and go after the 'it's all Labour's fault' brigade that spout out so much nonsense and they can't get away with that.

If it's wasting money we're talking about then maybe we should look at MP's , who for years have been enjoying a second purchased home, courtesy of the tax payer.
You only ever blame poor people and immigrants Tommy.

That's the Tory way JD. The immigrants, the poor, the disabled, the unemployed and the sick are all to blame for the state the country is in. It's their way and they say it because it's hard wired into them.
