For the life of me I cannot see why people should be forced to suffer in countries that are well within the most prosperous in the world (thanks largely to exploiting other less well off countries) and can only envisage that there is some overarching desire on those in Government to turn back the clock to Dickension times where everyone knew their place - and of course we know where most people deserve to be. Rather than everyone deserving a living wage the philosophy is that of a self serving elite who, as they have the power to control society, think and act as if they deserve whatever they can acquire - to hell with the rest. <br /><br />Until people 'wake up' and realise that democracy gives them the power to hold their governments to account then the transfer of wealth to those already wealthy and the suffering of the undeserving poor will continue.
