it makes me so sad that when this is all over due to the recession they will probably cut benefits so much that the bare basics will be hard, even if they don’t i won’t be able to go uni because i’ll need to work to feed me and my nan, and my nan will live out her last years piss poor, she’s never lived comfortably in her entire life.

it hurts because growing up i thought i’d be able to get a good job and get us both out of this shit but the older you get the more you realise it’s impossible and you are always going to be living penny to penny in the shitty town you were born in. no hope, no magical opportunity’s, just pure poverty

The UK was the only country of the 23 where the economy grew, but workers did not share the fruits of this success in the form of higher wages.
