UK REPORT FINDINGS
UK child poverty has doubled since 1979
Children living in homes earning less than half national average wage - 16%
Children rating their peers as "kind and helpful" - 43%
Families eating a meal together "several times" a week - 66%
Children who admit being drunk on two or more occasions - 31%

Since UK is one of the rich nations in the western countries,you will think the
Goverment will look after its own people than going to wars and spending
Billions of Tax-payers money!!!
