Conservative Party Leader David Cameron has said:
“We have to think about the causes of poverty. We have to disaggregate the problem – to look at the various types of poverty that exist, and the factors that contribute to them.
Because for most people, material poverty is a consequence of other factors. Family breakdown, drug and alcohol addiction, unemployment, poor education…”

Do you agree with these factors being the key reasons behind poverty? Have you a personal experience of these factors?
I suppose I agree but there are OTHER factors as well.
A friend of mine lost the use of her legs through disease and she cannot work. Her husband needs to stay at home to be a permernant carer… so she and her family have fallen on bad times!
Many people with illness or disability easilly fall onto hard times!
Cameron should ADD THIS to his list!
