Untitled, have a look at the Adam Smith Institute’s report entitled ‘Why we shouldn’t believe a word of Philip Alston’s UN report on poverty in the UK’.

[Untitled]

it's not a question of finding a prof toratoratora... it's a question of actually reading what they say and seeing how it is substantiated...

i have posted lots of information here... all you have done is point to some very poor communities in Romania

[naomi24]

I’ve given you something to read, untitled.

[Untitled]

not a lot of substance in that rebuttal naomi... they take issue with how poverty is defined without saying why or offering an alternative and the link to comparative global wealth does not work and is not explained... the coverage of the JRF's report on destitution is dishonest and superifical.

[naomi24]

I think not. It just doesn’t suit you. ;o)

pretty lazy naomi

"it's not a question of finding a prof toratoratora... it's a question of actually reading what they say and seeing how it is substantiated." - yes and also realising the partisan nature of the source and analysing how it is substantiated.

[naomi24]

Well don’t be. Read it.

[Untitled]

they even say they can't be bothered to check the footnotes naomi and don't say anything about the body of the report... they also seem unaware of why the government was trying to distance itself from the 60% measurement...

[ToraToraTora]

gawd elp us!

[ToraToraTora]

"and could you please explain why i am a fifth columnist? " - err ...because you do nothing but sl$g off your own country.

[Untitled]

i am not slagging off the country i am slagging off the government

do you understand the difference between those things?

[ToraToraTora]

........so you read a 52 page PDF in less that 2 minutes?

And perhaps explain why it is considered acceptable here to call people traitors? I thought there were rules.

[Untitled]

err no

Untitled 15.12. No, TTT does not understand the difference.
There are a few members who think that caring about the UK and expressing anger or sadness at some of the things that are happening there makes you a traitor and all the other names TTT throws about.

You're really wasting your breath and typing fingers when they can't see that.
