OK vicar, but, thanks to all the publicity, I imagine his hands are well sorted by now, so I think this example of affairs should lead to understanding of a larger context - what about all the others? Probably not very efficient to deal with them one at a time, as they appear in the news (most, of course, never will).
@michael: Understand your concern but in fact I don't think this happens much - real problem is at a higher level.
Meanwhile, there is a bandaid effort made by some here which involves foreigners, I can connect you.
Or even cash incentives? I know of a small charity that provides parents with such. Evidence exists that this works.
Fact is, there are sometimes small hidden costs in the 'free' elementary and middle school state education, which seem trivial unless you're really poor. Some people are really poor.
How about this: tax breaks to those who keep their kids in school? Seems to me this might interest those with no cash more than requirements to pay for schools that, for one reason or another, their kids are not attending.
Not necessarily to disagree with JanJal. Vicar is right that it's nearly impossible to make the 1% socially responsible - anyway, that's my reading of his comment.
I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.

Posted byJanJal, it is precisely money that the poor do not have.
