And nearly 40% are in work, many employed by huge multinationals that rely on the taxpayer to subsidise the poverty wages they pay.
Let’s discuss that.
"The children will grow up".
This was also the argument that Nazi officials gave, during the Nuremberg Trials, to justify why they had killed children during the Holocaust.
Your British tax payer money is being used to provide therapy for Israeli soldiers traumatised by committing Genocide, an Israeli charity has setup a UK payment option and claims 'Gift aid' which lets them take donations from your taxes.
British taxpayers are being forced to subsidise access to "therapeutic healing" for Israeli soldiers returning home after committing atrocities in Gaza.
You probably don't know but before 1964 nobody owned the seas surrounding the UK.
They were common land.
In 1964 they were all given to the King, so now all the Wind Turbines and Oil Rigs in the UK pay rent to him.
They should all be placed back under Government control.
It's a scam.
I remember outrage about Just Stop Oil blocking a street, just in case an ambulance had to drive down it. Not because an ambulance was prevented from doing so, you understand. Just the abstract idea that one might have to.

In case you don't know, or have forgotten, what this is about: the Panama Files revealed that just about every person of import in a variety of countries world wide- including the UK - was illegally stashing money in offshore bank accounts.
Daphnia Caruana Galizia, who was instrumental in blowing this scandal sky high, was murdered for it.
Her son continues the fight in her name.

Double-tap strike on a child trying to rescue a rescue worker. During a “cease fire.”
This comes as Israeli media and politicians are calling a documentary about this sort of attack a “blood libel.”
Follow the logic.
If the UK government says there is evidence Israel may have committed war crimes,
And over 2,000 British citizens have 'served' in the IDF since 2023,
Then British citizens may have committed or taken part in war crimes, and should be investigated.
I don’t think people fully comprehend the fact we have multiple British citizens who were active in Israeli forces in Gaza walking around the country, without any investigation, tracking or monitoring. We have no idea the crimes they committed or how radicalised they might be.
It’s either tweets about the Harry/Meghan non-news or soft soap coverage of royal PR. Yesterday MPs voted to double the core grant for the royals from £50m to £100m. Actual real royal news, but that doesn’t get mentioned.
.@mehdirhasan is right, of course there's an Israeli lobby here in the UK (and saying that isn't antisemitic).
But we all know that from 2015 antisemitism was weaponised to delegitimise & smear people who dared to say what Mehdi is saying here.
Absolutely crazy we have a Labour Government who is not only allowing this, but actively teaming up with the likes of Sainsburys to formalise unpaid internships but for fucking RETAIL.
