Child Poverty Is Inevitable If The Little Buggers Won’t Work, Says Boris
2019-11-26
Prime Minister Boris Johnson says that child poverty is inevitable “if the little buggers won’t work.” His comments come in the wake of a report from the Resolution Foundation saying that child poverty risks reaching a record high under the Conservatives.
“I have every sympathy for anyone in dire straits” said Boris “And I’m not just referring to Mark Knoefler. But if these kids don’t get out there and find some kind of gainful employment, how on earth can they expect to be able to feed and clothe themselves? It makes no sense to lay this at the government’s door. It’s a problem of their own making.”
The Bugle understands that despite his comments, Mr Johnson is looking for a solution. As we went to press he was rumoured to be consulting young entrepreneur advocate Prince Andrew – who has unexpectedly found himself at a bit of a loose end – on employment and money making opportunities for the under 16’s.
