    What is child poverty in the UK?
    The BBC News goes to great delights of interviewing parents who cannot feed their children (or so they claim). The mothers are usually fat, some with tattoos, ear piercing and other bits of jewellery which isn't cheap, or they are sat outside dring Costa Coffee.
    Poverty to me is a child in Africa or other such countries who lives in a mud hut, no running water and lives on a starvation diet.

    Spot on Vic.

    You may recall a PM by the name of Wilson.
    In the early 60's he put sixpence a gallon on fuel prices and almost caused a riot.
    Eventually handing over to Callahan, but the Thatcher came in to find the nation almost bankrupt.

    Problem is we all blame the other side to who we vote for,and looking at Labor govs around the globe one sees one trend, socialism.
    It is creeping in bit by bit with them.

    Simple things such as free breakfast for kids, we have it here though very few take advantage of it.
    Bit by bit they offer little things that make them more attractive to the unsuspecting voter.

    As we learned during the pandemic here in Victoria, control of the people is the name of the game.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Life is too short to blend in.

    The UK is not a third world country we are the fourth or fifth richest in the world. To have malnourished children and families forced to rely on charities to survive is a national disgrace. Ten years of austerity saw the poorest pay for the greed of bankers in the last economic crash. History is about to repeat itself, tax cuts for the top 1% and benefit reductions for the peasants.
    What happened to levelling up ? Haven't heard that mentioned since Boris was kicked out.

    If what you say is true Louis then the way to sort it out is for everyone on social payments should be means tested before receiving , properly means tested , before they receive any social payment. All I see is groups of people living high off the hog and living on the earnings of others in most cases. It is a classic case of the whole argument of the underdog. Being claimed as the victim of others who make their own way in life . The same underdogs so called want fitted carpets , their mortgages paid for and always something for nothing , and are quite willing to misuse the system to get. Your NHS was paid for by the British people and should only be available to them it was paid for by them and anyone outside that system shouldn’t even be in the country if they aren’t willing to share the load. Charity begins at home and always has. If they can’t stand the heat of living in the UK then they should look around for succour elsewhere , I would suggest Russia there is work there they might even give them a khaki uniform free gratis.

    It would help if the guys who have the fun, produce kids, and walk away from the responsibility have to pay upkeep. . The amount of mothers with 2-3 kids, and more, and not in a stable relationship are frequent. Each of these mothers need and get support, housing etc. What happened to the days when if you made a girl pregnant you had to pay for the upkeep ??. There can be no excuse with the availability for both sides to protect themselves of contraceptives , this means all those kids being brought up on benefits, and i know that does not give them a luxurious living, but why do i have to pay for some other guys pleasure. I await incoming.kt

    hi john sabourn #84
    good afternoon, succinctly to the point and a true and honest statement, Now whilst your missive can point to the answer for the problem, it does not suit the global ambitions of the liberal marxist left, or for the use of a better title ( socialism ), whose policies are to keep the plebs being fed and watered and housed by the marxist goverment when they are in power and by there control they will always receive the vote from the plebes each general election, allowing them to carry on with there marxist agenda, which since the sixties from their class wars through the universities they have destroyed the education system the judicial system our religious beliefs our family , and now it is time for free speech and the very existance of the social fabric of the difinitive difference between men and women we are truely on cusp of george orwell nightmare senario in his book 1984,
    i have seen the start of it in liverpool with dereck hatton and co and these socialist have made up any lost ground since he was expelled by neil kinnock from the labour party, every town hall in this country has its jobsworth do gooders all wanting to bring the goverment down and burn the union jack, these people hate their own country, and they wear many faces.

    Since 1900 there have been 15 Conservative Prime ministers there 6 Labour Prime ministers. How did all these Reds get under the bed.

    Better suck it up butter cup Labour now hold a 33 point lead over the Tories

    The rise in Right wing politics in Europe is alarming. Just this week Italy , last week Sweden. While I agree the reason for the rise in Right wing Politics is the flood of Illegal emigrants. But since the UK left the EU and took back control of our borders , well like everything this Conservative government have done things are working out well on that front. Things keep going the way they are soon Jack may not be alright.

    Nationalism has always been a feature across Europe's political spectrum but there has been a recent boom in voter support for right-wing and populist parties.

    It is visible from Germany, where the AfD has become the biggest opposition party in the Bundestag, to Spain, where Vox has become the third largest force in parliament.

    In part, voters are frustrated with the political establishment, but they also have concerns about globalisation, immigration, a dilution of national identity and the European Union.

    In the European Parliament, nine far-right parties have formed a new bloc, called Identity and Democracy (ID).

    So where in Europe's political landscape do right-wing nationalists hold sway?

    Quite correct James the biggest threat we face is the rise of extreme right facists. They have escaped from the sewers and are spreading their poison again.
    The men and women of the MN who never came home from WW11 because of fascism would be disgusted to read posts such as #86 on a MN site.

    Louis, at every step the human right lawyers, mostly left wing deter, or block the Governments efforts to deport the illegals.
    As for Labour, Yvette Cooper, said at party conference she wiil unlock the doors and throw away the keys as far as immigrants arriving in the UK are concerned.

    #89 do you think it is right to remove illegal immigrants by plane and dump them in Rwanda no matter what country they are originally from? Yes they need to be removed from the country if they are here illegally. If they cannot prove they are at risk from political persecution in there own lands they should be sent back. The open borders policy in the EU is seriously flawed and needs to be abandoned.
    But also if the the likes of Blair & Cameron had not had a hand in the regime change in Iraq or Libya maybe the problem would not be as bad as it is now.
