I’m British but not English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish. Channel Islanders have been British since the Norman Conquest so is that where the line is being drawn? Must demonstrate pre-conquest lineage to qualify as British?

if you can't afford clothes, it's not clothing poverty, it's poverty. If you can't afford sanitary protection, it's not period poverty, it's poverty. Divvying up poverty into little bits hides the fact that poverty is poverty and gives right-wingers an in to say "poor people need to budget better."

Yes, and you can store them in that massive warehouse that you didn’t build because your business relies on a just-in-time supply strategy.
