The more people you push into poverty, the more desperate people you are going to have. Factor in the cuts to policing and this is just an obvious consequence.

Tower Hamlets recently released a report stating the most commonly shoplifted item in the borough is Calpol, which I think says it all.

People haven’t just suddenly decided they fancy a bit of excitement in their life - desperation pushes people into corners.

I think that the Calpol is drunk by people as a drug to get high basically. I have no idea what it's like but also can't see what that says about Tower Hamlets except that it's full of people who are either trying to escape reality or who are junkies - depending on your feelings about it. I suspect a lot of young people use Calpol but not for pain relief in kids as per the label.

Yes and their kids arnt worth 6 quid. Now I think that says it all !
What is your definition of poverty as mine would be dying of hunger. Like in the third world; literally dying. When is the last report of that in any way but self inflicted or at others hands in the UK.
