Forgot to say, the free world has never been free for a good few millenia if not more. We live under the Illusion of freedom and democracy. It may not be as screwed up as the middle east or North Korea, but we have our problems - not better or worse, but certainly issues that are getting worse.

Take my city Leicester. 4-5 years ago the child poverty in the city hit around 80k. This is in a city and county of about 680k. This number doesn't include adults. Secondly, Leicester was not the worst hit as they are towns and cities which are worse.

I agree-  I m american and even the basic freedoms expressed in our Constitutions have been eroded just in my lifetime

That is an amazing (amazingly sad) statistic about the child poverty levels in Leicester-  What are the basic causes behind those high poverty rates?
