Poverty in the UK: Forgotten by the Crown

We are a 6 figure income couple and had very little saved and not much cash lying around the preverbal". '...don't have $500 for an emergency" that was us. The big thing was debt all kinds of it, cars mortgage (although our home isn't a high price one), student loans for our kids, and of course credit cards. One day we just got sick of being broke and went total scorched earth and became frugal overnight. Paid it all off, it took almost 5 years but now we have no debt and this year our savings rate is 50% on basically the same income that had us perpetually broke. So for us it is mainly staying out of debt and watching our spending, at first it was a real effort to save in our HISA and 401Ks but now it's actually fun watching our money grow. No car or vacation or neighborhood is worth being broke or financially unstable.

The Royals also ignore the plight of BRITISH veterans. They do the photops with children, go to specifically chosen elder care facilities or nice veteran’s homes. They lend their influence and name to various charities, but there are never reports of the CHANGES any of this brings. Parties simply raising more money with little accountability where every pound GOES is rife for financial shenanigans. This is why the late DIANA was respected. She refused to simply do sanitized photops for charity which were designed mostly to help the Royal NOT the victims of misfortune. DIANA did much off camera and against her “advisers.” Some of the fruit her efforts bore are evident today. So this is one piece, just one piece, of where changes need to be made.

It makes me very sad that Brexit happened the way it did and the UK government still has the nerve to publish on its websites news bulletins regarding the "benefits" of Brexit and the "freedoms" of Brexit. Why did it have to be like that? I was really surprised by the run-down appearance of many things I remembered in much better condition in the past.

I'm so glad we don't have those prepaid meters here in Australia we just get our electric and gas direct debited each week. Also it's illegal in Australia to cut people's power even for non payments. I lived in the UK for a year in the late 90s and things definitely weren't this bad then. The cost of living has gone up here too but thankfully it's not as bad here. Hubby and I work and have kids who are nearly all adults. We still rent though but we are thankful

The norm is a quarterly bill in Australia for utilities. You can organise to pay off in instalments if unable to pay before the due date.

I left the UK because of all the Muslims and illegals entering the country. I couldn't ensure the safety of my son. We moved to Romania and our life and living standards have just skyrocketed. Own a house, £30 a month in electricity, £20 a year in council tax I'll never move back to the UK. It's far too expensive and dangerous.

@@mickeyshooter5298 I went to China over 7 years ago because I had nothing back in Norn iron.

@@mickeyshooter5298 Nah I am Irish/British. I got both passports haha. I found it quite easy to adapt to life here although the language is very difficult to pick up especially as most locals want to practice their English with me. As for racism I haven't personally experienced much of that, a little bit from old people during the pandemic but it was the mildest form of racism. They would run away. Mostly people are just curious. What do I like better than Ireland/UK? I have a great job, free apartment and 20 weeks of fully paid holidays.

@@MarkScott-n4f I also hold two passports. Unites States and Lithuania.

United Kingdom and Great Britain was always a role model for me. Growing up seeing the hardship people go through made me see that UK is far from perfection. Recent stabbings, poverty, government releasing most ridiculous laws and etc. makes me feel sad, for such a powerhouse of a nation is paying for mistakes of few people. From all my heart and soul i hope to see thing getter better soon. Have a wonderful day everyone

[@haniap.8466]

Just unbelievable. I live in Germany and soon it's gonna be the same here. I mean, I'm not on social welfare and as far as I know it's still somehow working here, but as an average working person, with the rampant inflation and raising costs of living, one can barely make the ends meet as of late. Indeed, one is scared to turn the heater on... Having a roof over your head is slowly becoming luxury! Many people find themselves paying much over half of their net into the rent costs. I feel sooo sad to see the elderly and sick people - people who really need support, not receiving the help that they deserve. I litteraly cried. Yet, here, the migrants who have never payed a dime into the system, receive 550 eur per person per month + social housing paid. Most of them are young healthy men. All of this at the expense of tax payers, who in some years, when they may need the help, will end up exactly the same - because everybody knows that money is running out thanks to irresponsible governments who are living in some alternative reality. Western countries are not so great for living anymore! Theoretically, we are one of the biggest economies in the world, but the inequality has become enormous. Our states make us share all the costs there are to pay, but the profits are never shared, they're privatized and they go only to a handful of "chosen ones", financial elites who can live their luxury lives. Most of us work hard every day only to be paid a shitty salary, especially compared to the cost of living. The governments have compleyely forgotten, that a healthy middle class is the most important pillar of a healthy democracy. The middle class has been being slowly killed off in the recent years and it's so sad to see people in need end up like this. This must end in social unrest at some point...

1.4 million allotments The campaign proved to be a roaring success. By 1943, estimates suggested that home gardens were responsible for more than one million tonnes of produce. By 1945, Britain had almost 1.4 million allotments. It's clear that they played a vital part in keeping the country running during the hardest of times.
