Its a misnomer to say British kids live in poverty. Poverty is living without access to food and education. these are guaranteed for them. If they are worried of going under dressed to school then that is not poverty.


In the UK most kids have to buy a uniform for school. I'd rather not have kids be so poor that they can't afford things that the school deems to be a requirement.


How many kids aren’t able to attend school because they don’t have school uniforms?


I donot want them under dressed too. But calling kids who have access to good (probably the best?) education and very good food, poor is unacceptable to me. May be its just me.


> One million of these children are destitute, going without their most basic needs of staying warm, dry, clothed and fed being met
