Donny dog 321 Posted October 24 2 hours ago, JohhnyC said: The op is right, try living in Asia, no pensions, state benefits, handouts, dole, disability allowance (aka fat f**k allowance) I see it everyday here. People don't bitch like UK they know it will make no difference, so just get on with it. It's exceptionally common for mother's and father's to be working away from each other for a whole year, grandparents looking after the kids. Only go back once it twice a year during national holidays. Practically every cleaner, restaurant worker lives in a dormitory with other family's, just a curtain separating the cubicles. Kids doing homework on the floor. Any money they do save gets sent back to the grandparents as that have no pension. UK soft as shite. Bullshit excuse heating v loaf of bread . remember sleeping in sleeping bags ,army coats ? No matter what anyone says the UK benefit system is one of the best in the world. It's the 3rd highest spending on social welfare in the world according to OECD stats Also if they can't feeds their kids why are so many fat lumps? The thing is though, most Asian countries have a history of poverty and are nowhere near the traditional economic powerhouse countries. With the obvious exception of China most Asian countries are still largely extremely poor. The Uk is what? The 5th largest economy in the world and has been for sometime. Yet the gaps between the richest and the poorest continues to grow. I don’t for one minute doubt that there are parents in the country who probably shouldn’t be parents, but to further make those kids suffer because of that with the attitudes displayed by some in this thread just shows a very ill judged and arrogant mindset. I hope none of you lot ever fall on hard times and come looking for a bit of help when needed most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the sooner people start taking responsibility for their actions and stop looking for other people to point their finger at and blame for their shortcomings the better. And I’m not talking about those who have regularly paid taxes into the ‘pot’ to safeguard against unforeseen eventualities like being made redundant, through no fault of their own. Had to be Wales with the highest % of overweight starving kids! https://thefelixproject.org/news/child-food-poverty-holiday-hunger They was on the news moaning about their houses flooding the other day......they houses are situated in a fu**ing VALLEY!! Of course it’s going to flood at some point it’s not the government’s fault it’s theirs for buying a house in a fu**ing valley ffs!!

MickeyE 1809 Posted October 24 The amount of money that's been chucked about like confetti by the government so far during this scamdemic, I don't see why they don't just give the kids free meals in the holidays. It's a drop in the ocean. The way they're wrecking businesses, keep locking down, opening up, locking down again. We're all going to be financially dependent on the state in the not too distant future anyway. If that's not a deliberate aim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

albatross 97 Posted October 24 I despise the whole argument, starving kids? in the UK? I call bollocks. I have known child poverty, I grew up in the 70s, Mum died, Dad had 4 very young kids to suddenly look after all on his own, he couldn't work as we were all so young (3 - 9) so as you can imagine a pretty damn tough situation to deal with and the welfare state was not as generous as it is now. Clothes falling apart, no heating or electricity as it was all on meter and no coins to put in it. Some bloody cold winters as well. But there was always food. Not great food but we were never hungry. If kids are not being fed it is because the parents have decided that there were more pressing things to spend it on which I am sure we can all agree is unforgivable. 3 KETONES, sean m and M73 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave2638 1 Posted October 25 I fell on hard times, got made redundant and had to apply for Universal Credit. We have 3 children and live in a council flat, ill give you an idea of cost and what benefits we received. Wifes wages £1100-1200 a month. Universal Credit £900-1000 a month. (this is made up of 500 for rent and 400 for the children) Child Benefit £180-190 a month. There's enough money to keep the lights on, the flat warm and everyone fed. We're grateful for the benefits we receive but i cant help feeling shame that we had to ask for them. (I should be paying for my children to eat not the tax payer) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
