You have to question why they don't organise things better - have an online queue where you sign up, and they tell you "ok you're time is 2-4 pm," or whatever, then you go and boom, you're in and out.

Instead, we have people passing out and cracking their heads because they have to stand on their feet for 24 hours.

I think it's just to show us how much "everyone" supports the monarchy.

If you think it's ok for the 6th richest country in the world to have 30% of its children living in poverty, I don't know what to say to you.

How are they defining "poverty"? Because I'm going to go out on a limb and say my idea of poverty differs to theirs. I feel like we've stepped up a gear here, from abusing the word "poor"and now "poverty".

Surely by their metric I've been living in poverty for the last ten years plus. And I spend £100 a weed a month.

When's the last time you went to a dentist? An optometrist? Would you be happy to give up weed for a month to see one or the other?

Including your weed budget, how much do you have to spend on niceties each month? How often do you go to a restaurant, take a trip, buy a book, a new shirt, or whatever you'd consider something nice to have or do?

How much savings do you have? How much equity do you own in property? If you got sick and couldn't work, how long would you be able to go without some kind of gov't intervention? If prices suddenly rose, how much of your disposable income would that eat into?

I don't really want the answers to these questions. Point is, you don't necessarily have to be starving or freezing to be living in poverty.
