Far left and far right

Now I understand Janpt starving with honour is better than accepting charity. But hadn't this woman already accepted charity to begin with? She was using a food bank. Since when has wanting a decent lifestyle for other people been "patronising pity"? It's a basic corner stone of socialism.

trisher That's the problem. The solution would be to encourage people to take pride in their own achievements instead of expecting the government to support them and not to have children they could not afford.

Bingo! instead of expecting the government to support them and not to have children they could not afford I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. Now Janpt we need you to pop over to Where are the Tory supporters who seem shy in supporting the government?, some views are a bit unrepresented on there, the loony left are running amok

My apologies janpt I see you have already visited.

Janpt I would imagine the woman in question cleaned and looked after the school areas with dedication and pride. Most school cleaners go above and beyond their allotted duties. It's not her fault she isn't paid enough to live on and without government support she would starve. Blaming her for the system's faults is much worse than being patronising.
