actually, i agree with Cathryn. When you earn a decent wage why should you be living in a rough part of town where your kids will be brought up with gang warfare, you're scared to walk down the road, scared to park your car and leave it in case it ain't there when you get back, and your neighbours are ASBO warriors. that's why you work hard to get yourself up the ladder.
She was a housewife, he was a chartered accountant, so one income. they prob have the same income as a couple with two pretty decent jobs, who can't afford somewhere decent either.
Her point wasn't really "woe is me", what she was trying to say to the politicians was... if they find it difficult, then how bad must it be for people on less incomes. She had a valid point. They are not benefit claiming scum, they are decent people, and it's disgusting that when you are on a decent wage, a standard house is a nice area is out of your reach, and its all down the government fuking up the economy and letting the banks run riot
