Now I know this is supposed to be an academic blog, but
sometimes you've got to get political. Especially given the snap General
Election for June 8th called by Theresa May earlier this month.
So 2 years ago today, I wrote a Facebook status about child
poverty because everyone on my Timeline was fawning over the royal baby (dunno
which one, because frankly I'm an anti-monarchist and don't really care).
Anyway, back then there were 3.7 MILLION children
living in poverty in the UK.... that figure today has risen to 3.9
MILLION, possibly even more.
