This is the new poor unlike the old poor when people were really poor, the new poor people have just enough and no more but they'll still have the bailiffs kicking at the door demanding, the old poor were lucky if they had a door and even luckier if they ate a decent meal now and again.
not to compare them because the comparison's too thin and they're poles apart, but I stare at the pictures that are locked to the past and wonder why are we still at the start of it, why did one grandad go to war and the other one work down the pit?
certainly not for this ****.
