  Nonsense like this makes me really angry, to suggest 1 in 4 children in the district are in poverty is just rubbish. Hopefully the good people of Ethiopia and Syria will come to their aid.
  
  Still, Charlie mutters something about universal credit, that'll sort it out.

  Be careful what you wish for David.
  
  I believe a good number of them are en route already!

  All I know is that years have been spent creating this "simplified" system that nobody including Job Centre Plus understand and in the few areas where it has been rolled out the recipients/victims are getting less than before. Getting back to the thread we were told that work would pay yet 70% of the families have someone working.

  More rubbish, virtually nobody is born in Capel or Aylesham, even if they were its irrelevant. Somebody born in the jungle but living in Kensington will live far longer than the other way round.
