Poverty is a 'condition' a 'state of being'. Figures are meaningless, as they are so variable and circumstances-dependent.

You've either got sufficient for your basic needs (not bloody Sky TV, fags and booze !) or not.

There is a system set up in this country to help prevent people from being poor, to the extent they are suffering.

Of course you can take a horse to water...

you work graham, you must have a minimum figure you need to survive without cigs, beer, sky etc, a figure you need, at the end of the month you would have £0 left or your were getting in debt you've never thought about it ?

Try PERSUADING people to have FREE insulation and FREE new boilers.

I do it nearly every day of the week, and have been doing so for over 30 years.

You wouldn't believe the stupidity, apathy and bone-idleness I encounter.

It's a bone I won't be fighting over.
