Latest figures from Barnardos Charity on child poverty in the UK show that over 0ne third of Children in the UK are living below the poverty line,information taken from government figures, the figures for northern Ireland show more than half are below the poverty line. I have been told by various `catters that the "troubles" in the north of Ireland contributed to their decline in living standards, as the only wars in Britain have been snow ball fights how does this account for the serious decline across the dub.
It would be interesting to learn from our `catters living outside the UK, figures for their various countries. Ard Mhacha
