Southport MP Damien Moore has met with church leaders at Leyland Road.

Damien commented...

'I recently met with church leaders and volunteers at Leyland Church in Southport to discuss the support they provide to the most vulnerable in our community, particularly those struggling with debt.

Shameless.
It's his government's policies that are plunging the vulnerable into debt and he has the gall to pop along for a cheesy grinning photo opportunity with the unpaid volunteers who are trying to help his victims.
Well they do say criminals return to the scene of the crime.
No mention of what he plans to do or help.

Nonsense - it's personal choice usually accompanied by a total refusal to prioritise alongside an innate belief in entitlement.

What colour is the sky on your planet? Of course there will always be those who feel everything should be provided, but the majority of people struggling are working, simply unable to earn sufficient income to live.

A personal choice?? " yes I left my well paid job which was allowing me to take a loan out to buy a car, then we got a mortgage well within our means a holiday now and again but I thought sod it let someone else pay" in reality (obviously reality is beyond you) people end up struggling and maybe unemployed through no fault of their own either through illness, bereavement, accident injuries, or a BL**DY TORY government but true to form the I'm allrighters kick them while they are down. I despair at the intelligence of those eligible to vote, oh I forgot the Sun and the Mail determine who most of the half wits vote for.

Could you please rewrite this gobbledegook into normal English as I doubt that anybody can figure out what on earth you're ranting on about.

As usual - emotive rants from the left of midfield.

There will always be those who fall into the unfortunate category but - are you two honestly trying to tell me that nearly all those who fall into debt have been driven there by a Tory government - get a grip.
Has everyone forgotten about people losing their homes under Labour's watch, as a result of allowing banks to lend money to people who clearly couldn't afford it - they're all as bad as one another - Blair was as much a Tory as Thatcher!

It is an unfortunate fact that in today's society some have no concept of going without until things pick up and, not unlike past governments, believe they can spend their way out of difficulty.

It would be interesting to see just how much of this debt can be attributed to on line gaming apps such as those promoted by bingo companies. That is something which government can be blamed for as they've been allowed to flourish under this regime.
