Because of society’s incessant shaming of those needing welfare, rather than those who prioritise shareholder returns over paying a wage that is actually thriveable on. (no, not the minimum wage or the living wage…its much higher than that and contextual)

The voucher system bakes in shame,difference, marks parents in shop queues.
I’ve been there.
Working with families, the quote that broke my heart was a child same age as mine. He said “ if we had money I’d get tutoring, I want to pass my GCSEs”
How to pay his tutor? In £10 fruit & milk vouchers?

Lots of families would rather have food that lasts than a banana that goes squishy in a couple of days.
Some want to put the heating on for asthmatic kids in damp homes.

Hope you are doing ok now/today, and you are welcome. It was an important read. I remember that day - I had moved out of London maybe 18months before after using the tube and buses daily. I was thinking of London then, and I hold everyone to my heart today.
