| 663365 | 2008-04-28 09:22:00 | Look for people starving to death? Unable to get medical care? Drinking foul water? Somehow I don't think so, Look all you like, There is a difference between being poor and starving tro death. And all anyone needs to do to not be poor is go get a job. |

| 663368 | 2008-04-28 09:46:00 | Not intending to start an argument on this, but I couldn't help but notice she had 5 (?) kids . . . . Surely people with low incomes must associate financial hardship with the number of mouths they have to feed? I dare say most of us would be skint if we had to feed & clothe ourselves, our partners and 5 kiddies too? |

| 663369 | 2008-04-28 09:52:00 | and..............ah..........I doubt the definition of poverty includes the ability to purchase 30packs of cigarettes ? surely that's a luxury and poverty by definition doesn't include luxuries ? |

| 663370 | 2008-04-28 09:53:00 | If I had 5 kids I could retire on the benefit..... I earn a a wage, I provide for a family of 4, pay a mortgage, run 2 cars etc etc , I stopped smoking as it was a drain on the finances. In the real world they would know suffering. |
