https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/nov/09/its-unfair-un-envoy-meets-children-living-in-poverty-in-scotland

quote:

“The rich people,” Soroush, one of the children, shot back. “It’s unfair to have people earning billions of pounds and have other people living on benefits.”

It was perhaps the frankest answer Philip Alston received on a two-day visit to Scotland, where a million people live in relative poverty, including one in five children.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/nov/12/london-women-impact-welfare-cuts-un-poverty-envoy-philip-alston

quote:

Women in London have told the UN special rapporteur on extreme poverty they are bearing the brunt of government welfare cuts, and described how austerity has left infants homeless and exacerbated problems including overcrowded housing and domestic violence.

More than a dozen women addressed Philip Alston at a highly charged meeting in Newham, east London, and urged him to tackle British ministers over the disproportionate effects on women of eight years of spending cuts.

A group including many immigrants told the human rights lawyer that as a result of austerity measures, some had been driven to sell sex, some had faced increased domestic abuse and others had been denied the ability to bring up their children properly.

One woman with a baby strapped to her back spoke through tears about how she fled domestic violence only to be made to wait for 20 hours at a social security office where she became so hungry she had to drink her child’s milk.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/nov/08/life-on-the-poverty-frontline-un-turns-its-gaze-on-uk

quote:

“I have to be quick doing my universal credit because I am that scared of losing the electric,” he said. Alston mentally logged the situation, ahead of a report ruling on whether Britain is meeting its international obligations not to increase inequality. But it was not just the computer that was too expensive to power.

“I am hungry sometimes,” Michael said. “I’m scared to eat sometimes in case we run out of food.”

“Universal credit has punched us in the face,” said his mother, Denise, 57. “Before much longer people will turn to crime. People will smash the windows to get what they want. This is going to cause riots.”

as the UK leaves the EU, they're going to have to deal with inspecting goods through customs

This is the most galling thing of this whole ludicrous affair, the very idea that the loving congestion charge was comparable to goods inspection just because they both use technology.

There are leaders of our nation that do not grasp that checking the interior of a vehicle is a inherently more complicated than checking the exterior of a vehicle. Forget Raab not knowing Britain is an island, that 'technological solutions just like the congestion charge' was actively presented as reasonable for like 7 months and that only stopped because the national conversation moved on. We are led by genuinely very stupid people.

lol how isn't the freakin' low intensity war that took a couple decades to end WITHIN UK borders not the last biggest national crisis, but instead it's some imperialist ego bruising at not being able to push Egypt around.

The Tories are being wrecked and hosed over by forgetting Northern Ireland existed, you'd think they'd learn but of course not.
