Gordon Brown’s hard hitting & stark description of child poverty & what our poorest children are going through today with a way forward dealing with the gambling industry

The gambling industry is a licence to print money. Tax it properly – and turbocharge the fight against child poverty | Gordon Brown
New thinking is urgent now. I have not seen such deep poverty since I grew up in a mining and textiles town blighted by unemployment, says former prime minister Gordon Brown

I signed this petition. Gambling makes obscene amounts of money while ruining lives by encouraging addiction. Poverty levels are rising too and children should not suffer because of this addiction.

Gambling giants don't pay their fair share but taxing them more could raise billions to help children.

A long time ago, very early in my career, I was a 'special needs teacher' in the mighty Inner London Education Authority which achieved some incredible things.

Here are three cpd videos that I have found and digitised as they are not available online.

Join us for the XR Canterbury Friday Climate Strike #197 12-1pm in the middle of Canterbury High St. Recent local record heat should (some hope!!!) concentrate our minds on how to survive the future. The first thing is to stop burning fossil fuels immediately. #ClimateStrike #FridayCimateStrike
