Poverty is relative and none of us in Britain live in a Third World country. People here all seem to have material goods whatever their income, but to me there is a complete lack of aspiration and worthlessness in the section of society we would class as being in poverty. They seem to accept their lot and not see that there is anything better for them. I don't know what the answer is but from my professional experience I think that we need to be able to change attitudes - I've seen and continue to see families living in situations that none of us would wish to be in.
