More legalised theft

Cunts.

Millions of children in the UK are living in, or on the brink of, poverty, a report claims.

The Campaign to End Child Poverty says 5.5 million children are in families that are classed as "struggling" - 98% of children in some areas.

Oh, the humanity!

Before I even read this article, I knew what was coming:
1. Quango action
2. Gimme some money
3. Another government fuckup.

And so it came to pass:

The Campaign to End Child Poverty is a coalition of more than 130 organisations including Barnardo's, Unicef and the NSPCC.

Unlikely to be biased then.

Campaign director Hilary Fisher said the figures were "absolutely shocking".

She said: "There are currently 3,900,000 children in the UK that are classed as actually living in poverty, which impacts on every aspect of a child's life.

"A child in poverty is 10 times more likely to die in infancy, and five times more likely to die in an accident.

"Adults who lived in poverty as a child are 50 times more likely to develop a restrictive illness such diabetes or bronchitis."

Ms Fisher said some families could not afford school uniforms, and chose schools for their children based on uniform cost - which was "not acceptable".

She said: "The government has lifted 600,000 children out of poverty, but 100,000 have gone back for each of the last two years.

"If the government does not allocate £3bn in tax credits and benefits in the next budget, then their plans to reduce child poverty will fail."

God bless those cunting tax credits, eh? Where the fuck would we be without the dead fucking hand of those cunts in government?

She said local authorities and other service providers had to help it raise family incomes, encourage people to apply for tax credit and benefits and help parents work.

She said the latter was known to be one of the best ways for families to get out of poverty

Yeah, fucking right. Meanwhile, colour me severely pissed off as the fucking government steals more from my grandchildren to give money to my children. Except, of course, my fucking children won't see fucking shit.

Instead of supporting fucking tax credits, why don't you tell the monocular fucker to stop charging tax on any income below £12,000 per annum or something? Dozy cunt.
