If that is true then that's insane!!!Science adjusts its views based on what's observed.
Faith is the denial of observation, so that belief can be preserved.

No, there has always been an upper limit. It's true there was a wide band of people with income between about £30k-ish and about £60k-ish who all got £545pa I think, but above the upper limit people got nothing. I can't remember what the rules are now. They keep changing them.
Below about £30k-ish you get more, depending on number of kids, hours worked per week, childcare costs, and a few other things.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

If you think there's overcrowding now you should check what it was like in the 50s. Some of us remember the slums & bomb sites which existed into the 60s.
From this article - London Poverty Profile
Brilliant timing to post this on the day that reveals that the census population of London is now over 8 million (if you believe they all managed to get themselves on to the form on that particular night).0
