Good news for Ms Johnson and her friends is there’s plenty more poverty where that came from. Thanks to a budget crippling £850bn bank bailout and four years of devastating cuts to frontline services and welfare, combined with mass privatisations – hell, there’s safari enough for everyone! The cost of living is rising at four times the rate of wages. In fact UK wages are falling faster than any other ‘developed’ country. Thirty four disabled people have killed themselves, and 32 have died every week while undergoing stressful ATOS ‘work capability assessments’ over the last three years. Hate crimes against disabled people shot up 25% in 2012. The number of people reliant on Food Banks tripled in the last year, with nearly a million people unable to feed themselves without charity support. Last winter, the Red Cross launched its first emergency food aid programme on UK soil since World War II.
