I don't know you fix it but the inequality in this country is getting more and more of a joke.
I don't suppose the goatee bearded directors on here give a flying food if they can screw someone down another penny though.

Professor who? Professor of what, were?

Oh. A multi-millionaire ex-drug-dealer rapper, apparently best known for being married to somebody from a very rich family who was once on a "reality" TV show about ridiculous ostentatious wealth.
Right.
Yeah, you've hit the nail square on the bench there.<googles>

Poverty must have a new meaning.
If you have an iPhone, fags, and Sky TV you are officially living in poverty.
Funnily enough, were you asked to describe the typical setup of a person living in poverty you would probably include those things. Or as Pistonheads would term them: 'council'.If you have an iPhone, fags, and Sky TV you are officially living in poverty.

When I was younger families with little or no money walked round with holes in their shoes with sheets of cardboard in the bottom of them.Nowadays poverty has been dumbed down so that you are officially poor if you have last years Nike Air Max.

Times change, in the 1850's poverty meant dying of cholera.

If only we provide free education to allow people to better themselves.
For example...
Exactly, I mean, one of the little urchins split an infinitive! Won't somebody think of the .... oh.For example...
There are many barriers to partaking in a full rewarding education, kids don't work too well when you can't put food in them though.

If people don't take advantage of what is on offer, then whose fault is that?
Well that's clearly all there is to it then. You didn't pay attention in class & I don't care if it was because you didn't have breakfast or you're under threat of eviction for rent arrears or your dad is in jail or you're a carer even though you're just a child or any one of a thousand societal issues that bear on life outcomes, IT'S ALL YOUR OWN FAULT!!Eddie Strohacker said:

But surely this stems from people who can't look after themselves having children?sidicks said:

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for people taking responsibility for their own lives, however, I personally believe (as pointed out in the video) that poverty has now become the norm. The working class can no longer afford to live, wages just don't pay enough. When I was a kid my mates dad was a postman. He could afford to buy a half decent house, car etc and raise 4 kids. You try living on a postman's wage today!
The education thing, the kids are kids, it's not their fault their mum didn't make the right choices in life.
On the other hand, you've got Millionaires just down the road trying to decide which type of pearlescent paint code they want on their 3rd Aston Martin. How much money does one man need?
