It doesn’t seem to matter what the public think, at least in the short term.

“Poverty” in the UK isn’t the same by a long way as “poverty” for what the word was created and it’s real meaning.
No children are starving in the UK. Fact.

That's my take as well. That's quite a statement, even coming from Harold. If children are going hungry in the UK, it will be because they have neglectful/under resourced parent/s.

Under resourced is exactly what you get when you bring in Brexit. Let alone a Tory government.
Tragically, I'd think many more kids in the UK go to bed with type two diabetes than do hungry.Dylan Quint wrote: ↑Wed Jun 29, 2022 8:29 amThat's my take as well.

^ likely due to their parents being undernourished through the Thatcher years. As a baby in their wee ma's womb, their bodies learnt to store more sugar in their cells.
One in five British children went hungry during the lockdowns because they missed their free school lunches. The level of food insecurity in Britain is one of the highest in Europe and it has only been getting worse. While members of the Bullingdon Club were busy smashing champagne bottles, vandalizing restaurants, and burning 50 pound notes in front of the homeless, the agony of hunger became the norm for millions of British children.
When British children are lucky enough to get food, it is usually cheap refined carbohydrates and processed foods.
One in three children in the UK is living in poverty. The rate of rickets, an easily preventable disease, is at an all time high.
The UK needs tariffs and it needs to bring back the robust manufacturing sector that it once had.
The country needs to get rid of its sanctions on the Russians. The cost of fertilizers are through the roof and it is no longer profitable to produce fertilizers in the UK because the price if natural gas has skyrocketed.

Rickets is not at an all time high. It’s higher than it was but that’s not hard because it was eradicated. Still tiny amount of cases.
What’s it got to do with Brexit?
I think you were dropped on your head as a child. Multiple times.

The easiest source of vitamin D is the sun but more and more children spend their time indoors and in Britain's case not much sun anyway. In the '50s Britain embarked on a programme of giving all children doses of cod liver oil and this addressed the problem.
Whilst rickets was termed a disease of poverty, I'm not sure it is the case these days. Poor diet does not reflect poverty necessarily, you can be doing OK $ wise but serve your kids crisps and coke for dinner.
Unlike other countries, the UK does not fortify milk with vitamin D. They may want to start doing that.

The European Union is a joke. What do these countries know about democracy? How many members of the union have been ruled by dictators in living history?
You don't teach Britain how to do democracy.
