I read that this person is 77 therefore she cannot have witnessed the difficulties of the Depression -would have been a babe I think. To compare today's problems with those of the 30's is blinkered to say the least - there is no country in the world that gives support to all as much as the UK does, no-one in Britain has to be truly in need as the State supports all its citizens.[/quote]
That means she was born in 1935, then she would have been old enough to have witnessed how her parents, & grandparents lived, and heard first hand accounts of the times, whilst she was growing up, she is just exagerating when she compares things to that era, because like many others living today, they have no knowledge of those times, so who's going to correct her. She doesn't need any excuses for what she said, just exagerated journalism to extract sympathy for a load of so called down trodden junlies, whose ailments are self inflicted, they should have been allowed to overdose, & clean up the gene pool.
There is no reason for the genuine needy to visit that place these days.
