Your political ramblings get evermore bizarre.

You saw kids on free dinners in the 60's and 70's. Yet its all today's generation don't put their kids bellies first? Or is it 'let our children go hungry, and then they'll see how hard we had it in the 60's'...?

Seems like you have a chip on your shoulder with the younger generation.

Can't possibly think which newspaper might have planted that seed in your head....

Here's a question for you, feel free to try and answer as seamlessly as possible. Our government have just wasted 12,000 million pounds on a T&T system that barely works. Given that excess, why should any child suffer hardship, poverty and hunger in our country today?

our government as just wasted 12,000 million pounds on a T&T system that barely works.feel free to answer this ,how much did the Blair government (still the worst MP this country’s ever had) waste on the weapons of mass destruction Iraq war,I’ll guess 10billion,but please fell free to prove me wrong.and I’m a labour voter well was.and may be again.

Again, strange comparison.

But if you want to compare today's Government with Blair's, we have 600,000 more children in poverty now compared to 2010.

It's laughable you think Blair is the worst PM we have ever had. Have you been around for our last 3 PMs? Again, the Tory propaganda project is working well with you.

The "poverty" word is an interesting one.

If you want to see what "poverty" actually truly looked' looks like then take a look back at film from the 1900's and right into the 80's.

Watch programmes about the street children of India,Brazil and other countries where tiny tots are foraging on rubbish tips and being looked after by 6,7,8 and 9 year olds.

Poverty is not your 18 stone, tattooed mother who's smoking 40 a day whilst expecting free school meals 123 and you know it and you know it's going on in huge numbers across this country.

My brother ( who I no longer speak to ) has a 28 year old daughter with 5 kids ranging from 10 downwards and she's never done a days work in her life.

Played her mouth constantly to the council due to her lack of bedrooms until she was awarded a nice 5 bedded house paid for by the rest of us.

This is just wrong.

I'm not saying there aren't true cases of poverty even now but i think that the word is misused in the main and it's an insult to those waifs of the 1900's to label today's poorer element using the same terminology.

There can't be that much poverty in this country as those f uckin dinghies keep crossing the channel daily. Don't see these people desperately knocking on the door of countries like Romania!! Why is that!

Some of the poorest streets always seem to have satelite dishes and there always seems enough cash for fags and booze. Strange how jobs like fruit picking - no ****er seems to want to know and you would have thought parents would be desperate to put meals on the table for those kids!

What chance do some kids have with awful parents and the old saying is mostly true - a child is the product of a parent! If parents can't be bothered then what chance does a child have! Everyone is born with the same brain but when in one house there's thieving and the F word used constantly and in another house the mum reads to her child daily and promotes values - you know which child will succeed!

I fear that Mick and 123 will never see eye to eye! It is a massive problem, though, and it all falls into the social care area which, as we all know, will never have enough resources to satisfy the requirements of society. I am very glad that I am not the one responsible for this balancing act. There will always be children that are genuinely in poverty and there will always be some people that try to milk the system and get something for nothing; separating these into those with real need and those that are not, will always be difficult. I don’t think that all Tories are the hard hearted, callous individuals that some make them out to be; there are also some on the Labour side that will always oppose any Tory policy on principle. Most MP’s I do believe have genuine concerns about their constituents and do their best; it doesn’t always work out, though, does it? By the way, I didn’t vote for Boris in the election, so don’t class me as a Tory sympathiser.
