Discrimination because of race - Citizens Advice
So you would have to setup a charity that helped working class boys. That would be fine.Comment

Originally posted by woohoo View PostSo, you are saying it's up to charities to help poor, white boys and not the government? Why don't you think government should target it's help at the most disadvantaged group in society?
If you set up a charity for a social purpose you apply for government grants or get offered them if you have the right people on your board. Charities do the work that the govenrment should be doing."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by AtW View PostOk, that's not possible to have Oxford place for every pupil, and super well paid job for every workers, but everybody can go and vote easily in voting booth - how many of that group vote regularly?
Pensioners have high voting turnout and that gets them big benefits from politicians.
Good point about voting. The problem is helping poor white boys isn't politicised if anything you could lose votes. You could be perceived as being racist.
Why don't poor people vote, well as Tony Benn said “The people in debt become hopeless, and the hopeless people don’t vote... an educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern,”Comment

Charities serve a purpose but I don't think they can tackle the massive inequality these boys face.Comment
