Hello to yuo all,
it's been suggested that I mention our blog to followers of this e-mail list so here goes:
http://northeastchildpoverty.wordpress.com
It it the blog of the North East Child Poverty Commission and most of the posts act as a summary of news relating to poverty and inequality in the UK over the previous week. More comment than analysis but a few people have said they find it useful. A couple of regular contributors to this e-mail list also allowed us to use some of their comments recently in relation to the portrayal of mutli-generational workless households. We'd be happy to do likewise if anyone had anything they wanted to get off their chest....
However, in promoting our blog, I feel that I should also draw your attention to some others that I've come across:
Adrian Sinfield highlighted this one recently - http://inequalitiesblog.wordpress.com/ - and it is excellent - better than ours I'd say.
The following;
http://diaryofabenefitscrounger.blogspot.com/
http://benefitscroungingscum.blogspot.com/
http://thebrokenofbritain.blogspot.com/
are all very powerful blogs from people very aware of the impact of the media's portrayal of disability benefit recipients and the ongoing welfare reforms.
Best wishes,
Steve
