  How about the job centre not being so shit and actually help rather than hinder people getting jobs? If these people had full time jobs they wouldn’t be in poverty.

  Luckily, the focus is on the important things. The government doesn’t have the resources to help the people who can’t afford to eat, when there are such problems still around as kids using social media.

  Somehow food and shelter doesn’t seem to make it into the “protect the kids” bills they push..

  /s, just in case
