The article is more about working families on the edge of what UNESCO class as poverty.. of course there can't be any comparision to people starving in some parts of the world and the this country... but some of the responses on here have the attitude that no familes in the UK can be classed as poor.
The usual "we had it hard in thowd days and so should this lot" snaps of a race to the bottom...to me this attitude fuels the governments obvious policiy of bringing middle to low earners down down a peg or two in economic terms.
If millions of working families in the UK are on the verge of "poverty" then it is surely a matter of concern.. and not just a chance to have a dig at so called poor people.
