In our society we have repulsive greedy bankers and a number of overpaid shameless politicians, living alongside poverty stricken homeless people, who are very often born into poverty, giving them a massive disadvantaged start to life.
We need our leaders to be strong, to take action and to show that they care. But maybe I’m being ridiculously naïve when the disparity in our society is so great that the majority of them will never have experienced or been associated with this kind of hardship to begin to understand the degradation or despair suffered.
It’s desperately sad that poverty and homelessness exists anywhere in the world, but in our richly affluent society it’s simply a disgrace.
