UK's Poorest Families hit Hardest by Recession and Austerity 

It is more than just colleges and universities charging. The UK government is spending too much money and in turn they are then taxing the people to pay for this. And what this does it removes money from peoples pockets that they cannot spend in the economy which creates jobs.

A large part of it is the job market too. Many employers outsource for cheaper rates, want younger and cheaper employees and degrees seem to mean nothing for many job applications and even go against you if you try to get a customer service job. If you have a gap due to illness, it's really really hard to get work and most of the industries outside of London were stripped away from the Thatcher era onwards, leaving few industries but customer service and health care in more of the poorest areas. Add onto that poorer health in poverty stricken areas, increasing mental health issues and addictions and it's no wonder so many people are struggling to find their footing. I have ten years work experience in customer service and an English degree and I cannot get a job in Subway after leaving a previous job due to mental health issues. There is little to no support for people with mental health to aide them back into the job market and/or to find a promising career path where I live.

Ceira Mortimer the rich don't give a shit about the poor.

make business, contribute to Britain, think think think think and you will be wealthy :) where is the problem?

True words.

@@vytautasdzindzirbekeris3784 Britain is not set up like that!

The people need to get something called a ‘ job ‘

a DIY Car Guy Speak for yourself.

Why should they? Are you going to be donating any of your money to these poor people? Get over yourself and get off your high horse loser

@@tomjackson2861 asshole

@@tomjackson2861 He could even get off a horse, indeed, but still he will not be the Ruler of a State.

Tom Jackson fuck off

It's politicians who need to watch this not royalty. Our royalty has very little power.

buggeroff Prague, Czech Rep.......and your dump? lolol

Muslims do this a lot, but not all of them do not get me wrong....

shan hami You are a dangerously dellusional racist! Individual.

Sebastian Sivillica its not racist its just facts broo i seen this happening all over UK but bear in mind not ALL of them do this...

shan hami yup, you blame the immigrants and continue to be blind to the actual perpetrators of this scandal... the government

shan hami you r right, when I lived in England, I saw that first hand. Among places I lived in, I lived in Bradford for 2 years and people assumed as I’m not British that it’s ok for them to tell me how they scam the government for benefits. They all worked under the table and got money from work but claimed benefits. They also hated white British people (called them pigs, infidels etc). It was shocking to me to see how stupid the government is in giving them everything. They are experts in manipulating the system. Some married couple claimed they r divorced in order to claim more benefits.

I wish it was a paradise. We have some good things too but a lot of the poverty isn't shown when it comes to Britain. There is a huge class divide and always has been Can I come and live there lol?

Michael Reither I do that!

That would be amazing!!!

Everybody used to have some man in the family who had an allotment in Scotland. When I was growing up - it was a life saver! Thank god for my uncle. I still remember dipping rhubarb in sugar and home made raspberry jam x

Anton Jankovic, Very true.

You liar, you are eating cheeseburguer everyday and playing games with your expensive video card.

loki04sw Sure blame it on the muslims. Who pushed for the muslims to go west in the first place? Israel did.
