    If it's the 60% of average income as a marker for 'poverty' then I suggest we will never be rid of it.
    Of course you won't. If the average weekly income goes up, more people will be below the poverty line.

        Let me be the first here to say I don't give flying **** about others whatsoever. Most people are lazy, thick chunts, they reap what they can;t be bothered to sow.

          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                “It created the welfare state, including the NHS, rebuilt the ruined economy, nationalised a series of industries, whose record was a great deal better than it has been credited with, gave freedom to India, and played a vital role in the creation of Nato,”

                    To see @evoespueblo who, along with a powerful movement, has brought so much social progress forced from office by the military is appalling.
