For a lot of us poverty is just something we hear on the news happening in other countries.Believe me poverty is closer to you than you think.Any one can be in poverty even the people near you can be in poverty like your neighbors, coworkers even your family members can be in poverty. Poverty is not believed to be in Britain ,but it really is.

People do not believe that poverty is in Britain because most of the media ignore it and most of the politicians do not talk about it because they believe people that are poor just drag the country down or are not productive for the society ,but poverty is really a problem in Britain,30% of people are under the poverty line which shows the poverty is alive and well in Britain,also some of the main reasons of poverty in the UK is that people lose their benefits because the government believe that they could work or the the lose their benefits because the late for their appointment with the DWP for reasons that were not their fault.

I was in a council estate interviewing a man called Dan that just lots his benefits and house he claimed benefits when was in a car crash and lost all feeling in his legs “when the doctor told me that I could not use my legs my heart dropped”D
