For her education, the British government has levied a total debt of £60,000 – which does not include the £40,000 of extra debt accrued living modestly in South London and bringing-up two children. We are determined that our children will have the best start to life, which is centred around a sound, scientific education. This, at least is working, despite the crippling debt. There is no point asking anyone for help, as everyone we know is in a similar or worse position. It is my mother who wisely feeds us small but significant (continuous) sums of money that fill the leaks and prevent us from sinking! As Communists we refuse to behave like uncivilised animals, and ‘share’ whatever we can with whomever needs it. Obviously, we do not have much to spare, but it is important to us that what we have is given to people who need it most. In reality, the UK needs a genuinely ‘Socialist’ government that will implement a radical re-distribution of wealth, and wipe-out all or most debt built-up over the years of Tory, LibDems and New Labour misrule.
