"Children in 2015 should not be hungry and coming to school with no socks on and no coats - some children are living in Victorian conditions - in the inner cities," said one unnamed teacher. Nick? To be fair a teacher at my Mum's school sorted new clothes for a kid, who then came in the next day with the same old ones. The father was a scumbag by all accounts and had likely sold them, and not to put food on the table. (Pre-coalition BTW) Edited by johnfirewall (05 Apr 2015 2.23pm)

Wrong union. But what the report says is about right.

Sorry but that's not to do with poverty, that's s***ty parenting. Times are tough for some people, no doubt and whilst you can argue the pros and cons of the current benefit system there's enough to stop this from happening.

I will qualify the "s***ty" bit. Poor would have been better. The reality is that too many families (both poor and wealthy) don't have the skills to raise a family if it doesn't involve spending money. So when the money stops, people cannot/will not adapt. Cooking skills, haberdashery etc have almost vanished in a single generation. By today's measure, I grew up in poverty for a large part of my childhood. having meat with a meal would besides a Sunday chicken usually be offal or pigs trotters until I was 12 and got a job on a farm. Instead of throwing money at the problem improve life skills.

A union issues the findings of a survey of its members denouncing the state of 'Cameron's Britain' during an election. What could their motives be?

Lets be honest here, if a child doesn't have a pair of socks then the responsibility lies with the parents.
