Pathetic.

Sullies the memory of the original Jarrow marchers. Who did know real hardship, before the creation of the welfare state.

Makes me laugh when things like this are reported, earlier today.

400,000 children will fall into relative poverty by 2015, warns IFS | Society | The Guardian

Sure, 'poverty' is relative, but if three million children in the U.K. are living in it, makes you wonder why every Tom, Dick and Harry bother smuggling themselves into lorries at Calais, in order to come and live here.

As for the today's Jarrow marchers, let's just be grateful they didn't try to recreate the Crusades, and walk to Jerusalem.
