Re: "Poverty".
I shall quote from my original post.
"The fact is "poverty", the state of being financially poor, is a myth."
This is true. No one is financially poor becuase.....
To continue from my original post.
"We are fortunate to have a generous, some argue too generous, benefit and welfare provision system - which has for the past six decades given those in pecuniary deficiency sufficient financial resources to prevent abject need."
Again, this is fact and true! Nothing fascist about that!
If people wish to spend their welfare provision on other items then they have the choice to do that! However, they then can not complain when they don't have enough money to spend on essentials.

Approximately 40% of GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is spent on welfare provision - up 7% in real terms over the past decade. With all this money wallowing about to aid those who are, for whatever reason, in pecuniary difficulties, then the state of being financially poor is a myth!

Persons who receive welfare provision have a choice to make, they can either spend their state benefit on items to assist them, or, they can choose not to do this!

I've make some honest points that's all!

Where does all the state money, such as child benefit, go? This benefit is supposed to be used to prevent pecuniary deficiencies.

I thought all school's these days had computers, as in computer clubs, and free use of the internet?
There is a difference between poverty and poor!
