Adding that to my 'to watch' pile. <br /><br />Vanilla Rose, I think people somehow appease their consciences about the 'No DSS' thing etc by rationalising poverty as a lifestyle choice - which, I suppose, it can be although it obviously isn't in many cases. <br /><br />One thing I can't understand is how a DSS pound is any less spendable than any other kind of pound. It's not, so 'No DSS' is an expression of prejudice, pure and simple.Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707661738889563273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372650262327812921.post-44171821504254548832011-01-24T13:22:30.711+00:002011-01-24T13:22:30.711+00:00There already is a rich/poor apartheid, as shown b...There already is a rich/poor apartheid, as shown by the existence of property for rent ads which specify "No DSS, no dogs". Are we supposed to feel better that people in poverty, who may be ill, are excluded instead of there being a race or colour bar?Vanilla Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946634138308342764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372650262327812921.post-63284025055287915372011-01-23T23:52:48.992+00:002011-01-23T23:52:48.992+00:00It's about evaluating us all as human capital,...It's about evaluating us all as human capital, Fabian Society style:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKW862_h-W4Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979034123783374628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372650262327812921.post-9086562419016356352011-01-23T18:06:29.442+00:002011-01-23T18:06:29.442+00:00Thanks you two.

I can't help wondering how much of this early intervention stuff springs from <a href="http://www.historyisaweapon.com/defcon1/georgecripov.html" rel="nofollow">crime of poverty</a> ideology, and/or whether one of its underlying motivations is to panic us all into trying to earn (and therefore spend) more money.Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707661738889563273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372650262327812921.post-87449482658451823742011-01-23T13:20:08.359+00:002011-01-23T13:20:08.359+00:00Great to have you back Gill :)
