Gap

As I was on my way to visit a friend, walking doing the streets of south London as i do most of the time now when I don't feel like paying for the bus or putting petrol in my boyfriends car to save a quid here and there. I saw the billboard that had prime minister Gordon Brown's face with a cheeky grin which said "I increased the gap between rich and poor, vote for me"...I didn't know when I actually started laughing, pointing at the bill board and crying at the same time right there on the street,(hell am penniless, why not add insanity to that too right)and as most people in London do,they walked right past me with funny looks on their faces, and not one asking or checking to see if I was okay! what made me laugh was how true that statement was,not in terms of it being Gordon brown's fault ( I couldn't care less whose fault it is, as it doesn't change the situation) but more to do with how now that credit is harder to come by it is clearer to see those who had real money and those who actually just had credit and called it having money!...Even though I wasn't one who relied on credit that much but not having a job for sooo long...has ensured that I am penniless. I mean I am poor!...I would fall under the category of poor, really really poor. I have a student loan outstanding, a bank loan, a couple of overdrafts, and various unpaid bills. My maths is bad but even I understand that my income is of no relevance to my outgoing....which I cant even get credit to sort out!...because there is no means to pay back what ever credit I take out!. I can't get the government to help me with training as I don't fall under the category of youth or the training I'm seeking help with they do not sponsor and all the education and training the job centre plus has to offer does not apply to me...as I am actually educated...
So Wow, that statement is soooo true the gap has increased so badly that I do hope those who find themselves in the same category as I'm in come out of it un-scarred for life. if it was not for already having cloths, a roof over head and living in England with the government doing its little bit and having a boyfriend who is supportive and understanding I do not believe that I would still have my sanity!!!
Anyway I have to go now...
