Burton a disgrace.

Like most people I have been reared on the notion that Labour was the party of the poor and the working class.They are supposed to be the party of compassion.
Not a word about it.Ordinary and dispirited people who fall on hard times are being treated disgracefully by her Department,being left without any resources whatsoever,being put at risk of homelessness and with the full knowledge of her staff begging for basic foodstuffs from day to day.I am personally aware of a number of Irish citizens who have been reduced to despair by the dictates of her regime .I strongly suspect that at least one person I know was driven to suicide by the Dept.she presides over .
Some one should examine the suicide stats.and determine how many such people were reliant on Welfare at the time that tragedy struck.I guess that many were,just as a large number of people have died this last 10 years while under State care.
She and her Government colleagues should hang their heads in shame and beg forgiveness at the cruelty they are imposing on decent and helpless people.
If anybody reading this wishes to do something concrete about the situation,please contact me.
