The UN says the UK is violating human rights obligations, but the government says its report is 'barely believable documentation'.

"The bottom line is that much of the glue that has held British society together since the Second World War has been deliberately removed and replaced with a harsh and uncaring ethos.

"Considering the significant resources available in the country and the sustained and widespread cuts to social support, which have resulted in significantly worse outcomes, the policies pursued since 2010 amount to retrogressive measures in clear violation of the country's human rights obligations," Mr Alston said.

"Therefore this is a barely believable documentation of Britain, based on a tiny period of time spent here."It paints a completely inaccurate picture of our approach to tackling poverty.

Ideological ? Labour nearly broke the Country with Spiralling National Debt Of £185bn per year - The phrase should be ‘ Necessity ‘ - Last Labour Chancellors words ‘ Weve spent all the Money ‘.

In the brave new world of a Brexited Britain, an inspired & responsible government focused on equality, jobs, better affordable health care & education will right the wrongs of the misery caused by 56 years of undemocratic legislation & membership of the EU. Or am I wrong?

I'm sure Apple, Samsung, British American tobacco and Drug dealers say different.
