The usual depressing remarks from some inhuman beasts in our society in some of the comments below the story show just what sort of ‘pond life’ this Island plays host to.

At the same time those who need benefits or whose childen neen free food are decried a blind eye is turned to millions of pounds shelled out as grants and aid to the well heeled in the business community.

Meanwhile the political reptiles of the Treasury defend an unjust tax system that penalises the poorest.
