    Just as another comment,
      Recently and with Labours budget, access to benefits have never been more comming to the front of conversations.
      I see programs on the news about careres allowance and how the government are not paying carers the correct amount and are getting more "value for money by paying less than the amount that is required by law by using Parents or sibilings to look after each other.

      That said heating and food for disabled is also another bone of contention. Relying on Charities to supply food with Food Banks or Coupons to give extra care.
      We have all seen adverts for Water Aid, or aid for Boat people, but the new advert for care asks for a donation of £23 to help give care to people that cannot afford help even for mental care.
      THE ADVERT STATES THAT YOUR £23 WILL GIVE SOMNEONE ONE HOUR OF CARE?
      Are you aware that the TOTAL ALLOWANCE GIVEN TO ME IS £46 A MONTH?
      Does the government need to rethink their care package or if I am allowed 24/7 access to care where did they get their figures from for care?  as a calculation 720 hours in a month, and £46 paid that equates to 0.16 pence an HOUR.
      i KNOW THAT WE GET OTHER BENEFITS BUT WHAT OF THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T?
    Another reason we need a dedicated minister in Wales and in London.
      Our cause is not lost to get parity our cause is on the back burner for the last 10 years, by the time that this generation gets help the next generation would have forgotten what all the noise was all about.
      AN EXAMPLE:  how many young people took up having the JAB for Corvid?  How many were offered it?  If we have a "new strain" how many will except it?  Can any young people remember how long ago this was or what there parents had to do to make ends meet?
     Your thoughts.

    Frankly, the middle class used to be small business owners and the few people who could go to university and then go on to be academics or contractual professionals.

    As university degrees have become more required and as corporations take more and more market from small business owners the middle class and the working class are just merging into one big working class. So I don't think the answer is truly all that wrong.
