Yes, humptydumpty, because there have always been people who will be on that lowest rung of the ladder in terms of income. I lived in darned cardigans and hid from the rent man.
It's not desirable to have to make ends meet but so many of our generation, and those after us, as Annie has just mentioned, know what is is to make ends meet on a meagre income. It's hard.
Aggressive Labour/Momentum followers may imagine it is outrageous to struggle, (and they'll blame the government) but it's not a new phenomenon, unfortunately.
In making a case for the left they will ALWAYS use worse case scenarios, not best case ones, like working classes making head way and having realistic goals and aspirations, even on low incomes.
Between the gutter and Mayfair life there is a huge middle ground of people who want their concerns addressed too, but no, see how many times food banks are used in left wing contributors arguments as if they are the norm.
I wish that no one had to use food banks but how do you completely eradicate poverty? There are measure a government can take to raise money for services but even then there are those who will struggle no matter how much intervention is provided. That's a fact of life sadly.
Those people are not the norm. Their plight needs addressing but so do SO many others.
Pray tell what political ideology completely wipes out struggle? Where did it happen and when?
