Crow Sister (off with the fairies) BS: Spending Cuts UK - The Thread (249* d) RE: BS: Spending Cuts UK - The Thread 20 Oct 10


Do you have kids Bonzo? Do you have, or hope to have, grandchildren? Do you expect all of them never to need any assistance from the state, to never experience serious injury or disability or never find themselves bankrupt and penniless, or otherwise disenfranchised from essential supports?

As the last remaining descendant of a number of quite affluent ancestors, in theory I aught to have been a rather wealthy young woman. But a number of human tragedies conspired to determine that I neither inherited a bean, nor was I blessed with the necessary well-being to forge my own path to material security (Dickens would love it!)

It would be intriguing to know what my upper middle-class great grandparents who buggered off to tax exile with their savings many years ago, would now think about their genetic line dying with me currently wondering if I might be homeless sometime in the near future.
Perhaps nothing much, but then they were Tories.
