A Modern Day Victorian Nightmare!

It seems the 5 'evils' Beveridge took his time to acknowledge and eradicate, is back with a vengeance in ultra modern 2022! 

A few years ago, we may have struggled with pockets of Relative Poverty, however, if we were to do assessments using Maslow's Pyramid, I can guarantee that the basic of needs for a lot of people today are not being met. How the hell did it get this bad and why does it feel like an out of control cart, skidding out of control? Children are now dying of childhood illnesses, which were either eradicated or manageable  - why and how is this allowed to happen? People who are just hitting middle age are dropping like flies, the rate they are dying is alarming! It is time that Maslow's basic necessities are secure for everyone in society - not just the 1% enjoying the benefits of health and security.  It is imperative that the government is held accountable for these heinous failings. Standing by and allowing families to starve, freeze and not having a stable roof over their heads, is murder in itself.  

It's a Victorian nightmare in the making and all that's missing now is the workhouse! Punishing people for being on low incomes is an abomination!
