It's horrendous that thousands of chilren die every day, day in day out, year in year out because they have no clean drinking water, and that's before you've even mentioned food.The greatest barrier to eradicating child poverty in the UK is beliefs like this which are perpetuated by the press. Ducasi thinks like most people.
I certainly agree with the need to help those on low incomes with children, but I'm not so sure if there is so much *real* poverty in the UK.
The government don't get any support for tackling child poverty from voters.
That's why this coalition of agencies NGO's, including Oxfam, the teacher's unions, and various children's societies who know thw truth of the matter, coming together to ask the govt to keep it's promise to remove child poverty, is so positive.
I wonder how the press will report it?
UNICEF and Oxfam, who are International bodies, are involved so obviously they know there is child poverty in the UK.The teachers are on the front line, at the chalk face.Im not sure what Teachers unions have to do with Child poverty
Who better to know about child poverty in the UK?
Time to get a few chickens?
In London they are ripping out all the "safety railings" as they now say they are dangerous and cause deaths.
I agree with these findings, because a lot have been removed from my area and it is so much easier and safer to get around.
A bit of advice to parents.
You know how all the shops start advertising "Back to school" wear as soon as the schools break up for summer?
Well, wait as long as you can before buying new shoes - you'll be amazed how fast your kids feet grow over the summer hols. I think it must have something to do with the sunshine.
Ditto clothes. Trousers you buy in July will be too short in September.
