How can anyone be so THICK. The chidren are living in poverty because of the GREED of the ruling classes. Every time they give themselves an extra bung or raise taxes on the lower paid, it pushes the poverty level. Again and again.

Simple enough?

Even PERCENTAGE pay rises give the higher paid MORE than they give the lower paid.

Nice to see that over at The Other Place, the #DailyFail is still scraping the barrel of humanity with its loaded questioning purely posed with the aim of dividing society and causing disquiet. Makes me baulk. Regulation of the MSM will never happen. Why? Because its the capitalist billionaires who are at the controls of this - and always have been. #BritishMedia #UKPolitics #Politics #Ukraine #CurrentAffairs #Refugee #UKSociety
