Austerity is an attack on opportunity. When I was 10, my father became unemployed due to health difficulties within the family. Thanks to the welfare state I was able to live in a home fit to be lived in because we were provided with a council house. Thanks to the welfare state I had libraries to go to and a nutritious free meal at school every day. I had free eye tests and a subsidised school uniform. I was able to fulfill my potential because the welfare state provided me with some of the essentials in life. It gave me a fighting chance.
