Well I don't think it's helpful to make such a statement, even if they changed it just slightly to "attitudes to poverty are as bad as in the 1940s" it would be a more appropriate reflection of the study findings. Otherwise it's quite problematic to say that 'attitudes' are the same and therefore poverty is and I'm not sure how much value there is in trying to make such comparisons.

It's not helpful to make programmes entitled 'skint' 'on benefits and proud' or 'benefits street' however we disagree with the semantics of the titles there is a debate to be had if we can see past these.

so its ok to sensationalize about the rich and the pro socialist / anti capitalist stories....but its wrong if its attacking socialism? those double standards don't fly.

the new labour movement failed absolutely everyone, especially the poor, passing 1000s of self defeating laws that made the gap between rich and poor bigger than for 200 years.

corporates and fakes like bono beckham phil Collins jimmy carr etc telling us working clases to give to charity, if they pay taxes properly thered be no need for charities for children in need.

Yes we are nothing like the 1940's
that was still suffering the effects of WW2.
