4. No there is no help and the welfare bill made this worse

I remember when the welfare bill went through I was waiting for a plane and I saw mothers getting on buses in the middle of the night to go to work leaving their children at home. I was shaking because I left my own child who was a bit older but I had to go to a meeting because of my career. And, it always has been a damned if you do and damned if you don't balancing act. I am so disgusted with all of this that the same things I was speaking out about in the 80's and 90's still exist but in an intensified more draconian fashion
