Things are dire for many- foodbanks growing at such a rapid rate that it is reflective of Americas "welfare"
i have heard of people taking the free sachets of tomato sauce from cafes and topping up with water to give to their kids as soup. Just cause it's not in front of you and your street doesn't mean it's not happening.
And before anyone starts with daily mail statements no it's not because they have sky, buy cigs or alcohol! Poverty is slightly more complex than that - have a look at GCPH website!
If you read reports from IFS, CPAG, poverty alliance, engender, Joseph rowntree, barnarods, etc etc. You will be shocked and disgusted about what is happening in UK. It certainly is divide and conquer those in low SES have a bleak future ahead.
