It is an indictment of the political process that it enables this situation to exist and continue and also of a wider malaise in society. Faith and secular organisations have united to campaign against poverty, sadly with little impact on politicians, media and society. Read the election proposals and propaganda coming through your letterbox. How much is devoted to the subjects of poverty and destitution? Very little I surmise. The reality is as identified by JK Galbraith many years ago: we have the means but lack the will to effect change.
