Deprivation and poverty...

We in Australia are being urged to breed so we have the numbers to rebuild post covid, but my gut feeling is that they want to keep the balance of power out of the hands of the workers. Cheers for this thread Lion, you've gone and triggered me 🤣🤣

and it's by design too. They get to shirk their responsibility and get decent charitable people to take up the slack, it's the same reason they get away with paying nurses, teachers and other "vocational" roles a pittance. It's like a game of brinkmanship where the loser is the one that cares more and actually has ethics. Let's face it neither of our governments is clambering to help the needy out.

I am surprised to hear teachers and nurses are not paid well in the UK, both are paid fairly well in Canada, but I don't know what the educational requirements are in the UK, both teachers and nurses in Canada have university degrees (well for RN's, LPN's in BC only need a 2 year diploma and are paid less since they have less education.) but even a practical nurse makes pretty decent money.

my wife is a fully diploma qualified pre school educational leader (1 step down from teacher) and she's on a touch over minimum wage, getting her degree would get her a 2 dollar pay rise. She'd get more for stacking shelves. Our government uses our conscience as a stick to beat us with, and that's how they get away with turning their back on those living in poverty. It makes me so wild, you can probably tell haha
Now support staff like educational assistants and early childhood education wages there can really suck, but its not too bad for actual certified teachers, the starting is a tiny bit low I guess, but overall doesn't seem bad.

The usual claptrap from the left about 'hungry' children' The problem in Britain is children and obesity. People here haven't a clue!

ah you're one of those. I've seen a fat kid so poverty doesn't exist, you're right some people haven't got a clue

Absolutely spot on, some just don't have a clue! In fact most get their 'facts' from the press and then bang on about something they know nothing about.I wonder how many hungry and starving kids they have seen in London? Not having a clue is the nicest thing to say about those sort of people!

Sorry about that

But yeah, it is wrong and it isn't inevitable and it isn't an accident. And it's an embarrassment. The post-WWII government of a bankrupted, broken UK did better than this.

Someone (BristolUK perhaps?) posted a list of a food allowance from a food bank. I had been going to run it through a nutritional analysis program, but it was a bit meaningless as there weren't weights/amounts given. But just looking at it you could see that it was deficient in minerals, vitamins and probably protein, as well as unsaturated fats.
