Sort of like the Victorian era, where the deserving and undeserving poor were carefully separated and treated accordingly. The deserving poor got church charity and donations. The undeserving poor went to the workhouse. <br /><br />I said in an earlier post that I'm amazed more people aren't criminals, and I still feel that way. At least in prison they'll have a roof over their heads and three meals a day. When you're in dire poverty your freedom is so limited anyway I don't know if it would make much difference. We don't quite have America's industrial prison complex yet, but UK governments of all colours have rarely seen an American idea they didn't like.Franca Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236689145871501699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7751066871676659042.post-11630237928570667592014-04-23T19:43:16.805-07:002014-04-23T19:43:16.805-07:00What side of the puddle are you on?

It took you some time.<br /><br /><br />At the moment I'm reading "No ID, No checks … and vouchers for sob stories" <br /><br />http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2608606/No-ID-no-checks-vouchers-sob-stories-The-truth-shock-food-bank-claims.html<br /><br /><br />for the 10th time to really understand what's going on. It looks like your Government wants to save some money on the poor people in need of some food.<br />Surferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02941435922430766921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7751066871676659042.post-37768136865271469342014-04-23T19:38:57.121-07:002014-04-23T19:38:57.121-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Surferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02941435922430766921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7751066871676659042.post-67887979150075958822014-04-20T14:58:23.794-07:002014-04-20T14:58:23.794-07:00Sadly, sickenly, it is much the same on this side ...Sadly, sickenly, it is much the same on this side of the puddle. Though, not everyone who demeans the poor as a bunch of lazy slackers is rich. Plenty of lower middle class, even poor WHITE trash do the same. It is sickening.<br />They decry our president as being a Socialist (as well as a foreign born secret Muslim), with absolutely no understanding of what Socialism is. They proudly worship at the alter of ignorance and bigotry.<br />What Would Jesus Do? He wouldn't save their empty souls that's for sure.Geri Copitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05959583503334926247noreply@blogger.com
