      Still, they do have it easier than those in rural Ukraine, middle east and Africa and I am sure other places. The kids and mom do not look malnourished. But yes, I would be concerned for my children. I have never had cupboards that bare nor such an empty refrigerator. I hope England does better stocking pantries like this.

      ​@@annsaunders5768 The Hell with Ukraine and the other Countries! People in the UK should be the priority of the UK GOVERNMENT. I'm sick of our taxes going to fund other people's Wars. Equally Foreign Aid, sending millions to India, China and other RICH Countries is inexcusable. These children are pale and drawn. They DO look malnourished, and we can't see what's happening inside their bodies ! What do you want them to look like? Emaciated skeletons?? Also, if you have no food, you don't have anything to stock in your pantry, now do you ? 🤡🤡

    I grew up very poor, at least in the early years due to our situation. Every Friday for supper, my brother & I ate the last of our stale bread with slightly sour smelling milk over it. This was our supper. After my dad left the 4 of us (me, my brother, mom, & elderly grandmother), taking what little money we had, we were forced to begin living out of my grandmother’s car - parked at a gas station that allowed us to use their bathroom. During this time (about 4-5 months) my mother worked a full time job & took as much overtime as she was given. Fortunately, we lived in a warm climate, but it was most difficult for my mother having to sleep in a car & go to work everyday at an office job. This was around 1957, & although there was help available back then, my mom was a proud woman & didn’t want welfare or food stamps. But my brother & I never went hungry, & my mom & my grandmother didn’t eat meals with my brother & me. Later on, I learned
    from a distant relative why they did this. They WAITED to make sure my bother & me had had enough to eat, then ate what was left. The story would be tragic if the adults caring for us had given up… & fortunately they didn’t. Mom saved a portion of her earning until we were able to rent a place. After a few more years, my mom was able to buy a small house for us.

So sadly, you will feel right at home being poor for the rest of your life while the Royals are living the high life off of your backs, and OFF OF YOUR MONEY!

      It’s the billions of “migrants” that illegally flood into the UK. And the UK goverment, just like the US goverment, spends so much money on helping these illegals, instead of deporting them!
      Those illegals get , prioritized housing , money, and all sorts of goverment benifits.
      In the US they get free housing, a high amount of food stamps Cash money, medical care , money for furniture , free translators and free lessons in English ( which many dont bother to learn)
      Our governments prioritize helping the people who have entered our countries illegally. And provide very little help for the native, law abiding citizens .
      It breaks my heart that all,these beautiful Brits are suffering so much. And the same for all the Americans that are suffering.
      These aren’t people who are gaming the system to get as much free stuff as they can , having large numbers of children, and they are capable of working but don’t want to work.
      These people in the video and millions like them , are the “working poor” who are one paycheck away from homelessness, one catastrophic event in their lives and they are broke. These people want to work and provide for their families . This extreme poverty is not just affecting the adults , but the children and it will,have an effect on the children’s lives , maybe for their entire lives, definateky for a long time. Physical health, mental health are involved.
      Children are our future and we are doing them a huge disservice. We are allowing a generation to grow up in extreme poverty.

Over 16 hours, the free Childcare and other assistance ( such as rent support etc, stops. Then they're in a bad situation, as they can't afford childcare, free School meals, etc. A vicious circle which means they're better on benefits. No excuse not to have some self respect, and work those 16 hours though.

    Not having passed all the GCSEs is more than a self worth and self esteem hit, it’s an accomplishment that she didn’t achieve for herself, that she’s so mad, sad and infuriated with. It meant she’d have an excellent passport in education, and with that power to go and get what she’s destined for. With all she has been dealing with and gone through, is it any wonder why she didn’t achieve what she wanted? Children don’t do well when hungry, constantly uprooted, with no stability in their abode.

That would be cabbage, carrots, potatoes, onions and squash. Maybe get rid of the fridge. Also get rid of extra stuff. This makes it easier to take care of the house.

Very very few fresh whole foods like vegetables and fruit. And what that is, many times is on the verge of rotting. I should know, I helped a critically sick friend by collecting food from a bank for them. The food is low in nutrition and as I said, a lot is rotting. And ZERO meat, pulses, lentils and dairy etc. Seeing this documentary and what people are given looks like a banquet to Australian poor.
      Please be careful critiquing people as it's quite more complicated story than many know. My friend died, and the dire lack of nutrition doubtless contributed to his body's inability to fight the cancer. It's not possible to eat properly here when you are in poverty. It is a terrible thing to witness, someone close to you being ravaged by illness and practically starving to death, and in a so called 'civilised' country to boot

    I find sometimes teachers can be harsh at times I never found that myself, but I am guessing it does happen to some people
    Like if people normally pass on a test when they get even the a instead of an A+ that can make them feel like they’re not doing enough, even though they tried very hard

  • @leighhoppins9273
    @leighhoppins9273 7 місяців тому

    but I find that poverty does have challenges And it leaves teenagers with this burden of like you know just a little bit of a failure on their test. It means that they aren’t doing well.
    You know and when you live in poverty, you’re trying to do everything in your power so that one day you can get a good job go to college you can
    Be in a business you own your own business and then you have the money to support yourself and your family you know
    In her situation, I can see it in my mind. I can imagine why that would be frustrating and discouraging you know.

    I think all teenagers feel like that you know even the ones that do have money and they’re rich ones. You know the teenagers that are one day gonna grow up with Kelly Clarkson as their mom you know.
    Kelly Clarkson Also has children and they’re very very very young right now, but they are gonna be teenagers at one point in their life and they will experience that in their life
    They are normally very, very, very good at getting marks and then all of a sudden they just drop they don’t do as well
    Doesn’t mean that happens to only people in poverty it happens to people over the place and it is disappointing I can feel and I can imagine it
    It must be very, very, very discouraging for that person

    maybe if you don’t go through it yourself you know and you’re not exactly poor, but you’re not rich either
    Like my family isn’t rich, but they’re not poor either we still can afford food, but we still have to watch our money. We still have to look for the things on sale.
    And even the people that More than minimum wage in Ontario Canada, the cost of food and everything even the rich people are often left with not much money
    After they pay their bills and they pay for their gas, they are not Left With in their bank account, you know so yeah

    I’m not blaming their situation. I’m just saying like it makes sense. If you don’t have the money then you can’t expect people to be able to afford clothing and food. You can’t walk into a restaurant to get a meal for free you know
    I mean, majority of restaurant won’t allow you to do that

    In England it sounds like it’s completely different because it sounds like people that make more than minimum wage there
    Are doing OK they don’t have Worry about not having to pay for things in England, and some countries are like that sometimes the Minimum wage people and The people that make More than minimum wage
    Or able to provide food with her able to give their children the life of luxury you know they’re able to give their children the best life they’re able to hire the best teachers in their school to teach their kids
    You know they can if their kids need help with something they can hire a person to help their kids with their schoolwork you know

  • @leighhoppins9273
    @leighhoppins9273 7 місяців тому

    not like people that are making minimum wage and making more than minimum wage, you know those people
    You know we’re often doing good and then they get one or two marks wrong and then it’s like I don’t really give a shit
    I’m still better than other people in my class Not as good as you did before is still better than what other people got in the class
    It means nothing to them because they don’t have to worry about struggling with money. They don’t have to worry about working harder to provide for themselves and For their family
    They don’t have to worry about the stigma and the fact that you know it’s hard to make friends. They don’t have to worry about being judged and being ignored or bullied by other people you know just because they don’t have any money.
    They don’t have to worry about that. Why would they worry about a Low mark on one test?

    I'm sorry but killing yourself or inflicting self harm is a yellow belly way of checking out. Being poor like this would suck .. but you have to be strong. Jesus loves you. If you serve him and live for him.... you'll not kill yourself. That's a sure ticket for hell. Prayer changes things. Living for God changes lives. He made you and sent Jesus to die for you! Don't give up. Have a heart to heart talk with Jesus. Have family prayers. Cry out to God with all your heart, be sincere. He will hear you and help you!!!! 🙏
