"Jack is also sad that he never knew his father, his mother has to stay at home, cook for him, take him to see his friends, fetch him coke from the fridge and she only gets paid £2,000 by the Government for doing so"

By all means I do agree that the word poverty is meaningless in the country as you are living in poverty if you TV is less than 32".
With that to live on £35 a month after bills is poverty.Have my first business premises (+4th business) 01/11/2017

This proves that there is ample scope for a £35 rent rise.
But seriously, what is the point of this article? - does it show rents are too high, or that some muppets take on rentals that they cant afford?0 -

Oh, how to stereotype......We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

This is true, maybe a few rises to cover increased costs is ok, otherwise they can't pay the staff.Have my first business premises (+4th business) 01/11/2017

Are you one of those people who gets offended on behalf of other people, even though the other people aren't offended?
