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.
