Yep -the level of deprivation in the UK is vastly underreported. A kind of collective acceptance that this is the norm and inequality is inevitable in a capitalist society. It infuriates me to see the level of apathy that refuses to acknowledge and implement changes Voting polls validate this!

“In the 21st century, we shouldn’t be talking about kids without food or beds,” Absolutely not. Let’s hope change comes soon for these children and others like them 😣
