Underclass of 88 (1988x11)

:

The Underclass of 88 In tomorrow's Budget the Chancellor is widely expected to announce further tax cuts for the better off. But what of Britain's poor? Next month will see the most radical change to the Social Security system in 40 years. Nine million claimants will be affected. The Government says the changes will help those in greatest need. Others say that many of the poor will be made more dependent on charity and that far from escaping poverty they're falling further behind.
