Dec 2017
700,000 children pushed into poverty.
Food banks that can't cope anymore.
Jobs lost families struggling to get by.
Even more rough sleepers than before.
Tax credit's that makes life worse.
People living in badly built houses.
No money for schools and hospitals.
Yet there's money for royal weddings.  
One rule for us and a different rule for them.
A government that takes from the poor.
Even death has a tax these days.
Is this what building a fairer country that works for everyone looks like?.
I wrote this because when you look at the mess of the UK you start to wonder who does this country work for it makes me angry.
