"In my day we never went hungry because we never had sky and mobile phones"

Why are people demonising those living in extreme poverty? You never struggled growing up, good for you. I remember (when I came from care) walking in and my Gran was crying because they were struggling.
I never went hungry, but my Grandad worked hard and was signing on with a dodgy name at the same time. He literally had to break the law to afford to keep up payments and try give us a good life. He got caught and had to pay it back, but that's what poverty was.
I remember the power cards cut in half; the tele with the pound machine; the "provvy wummin," the catalogue; etc. All this shit was there to try and have a semi decent life. I ate but the food was chips and egg and frozen meals and shit like that.
Nobody needs to live like that. We are the 6th best economy in the world ffs. We, the workers make the money and we spend the money. If the system worked correctly the big companies who make the profits would pay their taxes, but they don't. That's where the issue lies.
Stop blaming poor people struggling who ate struggling because of this system, because you don't have a fucking clue what they are going through. If you've never lived it then fine, but shut your fucking noise you insecure pricks. I'll burn you c#nts alive!
These people want you to live on benefits off grid. No phone, no internet, no nothing. How they supposed to find work when they don't have any of that? You need a phone to be phoned on for work and you need internet for emails and work notifications from UC. You don't have a clue
Don't shout about your taxes not being spent correctly feeding children who are the future of our country, while you remain silent as tax money in the billions goes towards the maintenance of nuclear weapons we will never f#cking use!
