@melindiscott @thisisnotawar Also article focuses on 1 family - Mirror writes about UK poverty which you seem to be claiming doesn't exist.

[unemployedhack @unemployedhack]

@melindiscott @thisisnotawar If have £70 a week and bank charges take half of that due to £1 overdrawn person experiences poverty. Simple.

[unemployedhack @unemployedhack]

@melindiscott @thisisnotawar The poverty industry *is* charities who make a fortune from sentimentalising austerity ... or making TV shows.

[unemployedhack @unemployedhack]

@melindiscott @thisisnotawar I saw that. It's politically contradictory throughout.

[unemployedhack @unemployedhack]

@thisisnotawar Too often 'othering' or a mawkish reaction to poverty means it's seen as inevitable and so we can't fight it. @melindiscott

Many times bank took £15+ in bank charges for £1 overdrawn so left with -£15 for week for bills/food. Poverty! @thisisnotawar @melindiscott

So "acquitted of lying" lie has now spread from @guardian to @Channel4News to @BBCBreaking - really dreadful day for journalism. I give up

#Coulson has been cleared of perjury. It has not been disproved that he lied. It has not been disproved that he lied under oath. FFS, media.

Do you aspire to be a writer on top BBC show? Do you dream of writing for Eastenders? Do you want to earn £2 an hour? http://t.co/aMznd1zVdK

Urgh! US TV already exploits poor. BBC to follow?

@melindiscott I've experienced poverty. £70 a week, rising cost of utilities, bank charges taking half dole. Poverty is real. @jonainscough

Just remembered - I've written about poverty porn before. US-style. https://t.co/CqvAJSbP0y
