Yeah she flogged 1.5 million council houses
one of the reasons why we have a major housing crisis….which you deny
Here is an example of a nurse that can’t afford to live on her wages:
”Laura, a trainee nursing associate, said: “I love my job, because I meet inspirational people and I can make a difference each day. I do 13-hour shifts and I work 37.5 hours a week and I am a full-time student apprentice. I come out with £1200 a month after being scorned by the increase of tax and national insurance. I cannot afford to pay my bills most months, so I have to decide what is more important, my energy bill, food shopping, keeping up with mortgage payments have considered getting a job in retail as it would be less stress and I would be better off financially.

So really, not that different from me, at that age..
He has much more income than me, he pays much more for his bills than I do. I am also disabled too. Your point is - what?

It isn't only peoples pets who are being handed into shelters because their owners can't afford to look after them.
Costs on average £ 4000 a week to keep a child in care.
Private providers must be making a fortune.
Would probably work out a lot cheaper if the government gave more support to these kids families .
