This is the claim of a Mirror article (25/06/15). But this is not the first headline under Cameron's premiership to voice what has been known since 2012 Olympic Games our kids are on the poverty line. In 2012 the PM pledged 120millon (for 2016) to the World Hunger Summit and money for 2016 Olympics so children in Britain could starve for the last three years.
While Cameron was lost in the Olympic headlights (of closing the Games), young children in Britain were having to bailout cash-strapped parents with their pocket money it would seem. The headline: “Children as young as 8 are lending money to their parents as they worry about family finances” (Mail Online) clearly pointed this out on 12th August 2012. (The piece went on to explain that 85% of eight to fifteen-year-olds claim to be worried about their family's finances. And that, “Almost a third (31 per cent) of the 1,132 children surveyed said they had lent their own money to someone else.” And “Of that group, 29 per cent had helped mum and dad with a handout and two-thirds had lent money to a friend” with “The older children … more likely … to say they were anxious about household finances.”)
