The following ‘facts’ are according to the Childhood Trust, a London charidee, as reported by the paper that makes you proud to be British, The Guardian.
”Children stressed and self-harming over UK cost of living crisis”
”According to The Childhood Trust, the impact of money worries for British families has caused 47% of children to feel stressed, while 21% of parents said their children smile less because of the financial squeeze.”
”But, most concerning, 9% of parents who responded to their survey claimed their children had started self-harming.”
” Conservative government’s decision not to increase child benefit as a “major failing” that has led to more children dealing with clinical depression.”
”One single mother-of-three said: “At the moment, everything is really crazy. Everything is hard. When I used to go shopping for the week it was £30, maybe £35.
“Now if you go to pick up a few things that you need it’s £60 or £70. It’s a shock. We’re trying to reduce. There’s a charity behind where I live, so sometimes I go there to get food.”
So, coincidental with this charidee seeking to get more money they have produced these ‘facts’, without citation or moderation.
I see the ‘single’ mother of 3 (where father?) puts inflation at 100%. They must also have some sort of smile monitor to give the figure of 21% fewer.
They also ‘know’ that 47% of children feel stressed due to money worries. Quite some survey. In London natch.
I am glad to see that it is all the fault of the wicked Tories.
Fuck me the gibberish these cunts produce is off the fucking scale. Journalism at it’s best.

When I was a child I never had any money.
I think that it was because I was at Primary school and , unlike all the grownups, didn’t have a job. No wonder I didn’t have my own house or a car.
Chilhood poverty …..a perfectly normal phenomenon.
