Compared to those living without clean water, and the threat of starvation, nevermind that an education is but a dream, this is not poverty, it's fecklessness.

I heartily agree. Cruise any rental area where the bulk of the occupants are unemployed and you can't help but notice the glut of four-by-fours and Sky dishes! According to the Daily Express the government are set to turn their spite on the elderly by abolishing bus passes and the winter fuel allowance. Perhaps the wrinklies (myself included) will lead the nation in taking to the streets!
