UK government to burn your tenners

And it's a good thought. If I thought it would work I would happily give them your money.
But how exactly are they going to deliver ("an attempt to tackle poor literacy, particularly among girls...") ?
The border areas of Pakistan are synonomous with lawlessness. Girls don't go to school there, they stay in their room, until they're married when they stay in a different room and sometimes go to the market.

Ach I dunno, just speaking out loud. Not the girls in these areas that become the problem, and education, if it can be delivered could be of use.

Look at the Taliban - almost totally made up of uneducated Afghan men who accept the corrupt version of Islam they'd been given cause they don't know any different. The educated ones stay well away.

Speaking out loud can only get you in trouble. Subvocalise and mutter darkly instead. *mutter* *mutter*

Speaking out loud is much better than speaking out silently.

If you want to stop povery, the most cash-efficient way is to educate girls.

I'd show you the graphs, but James Martin does it much better than I could.

It is impossible to eradicate poverty because of the way it is measured. If you increase everybody's wages, everybody is better off but the people at the bottom of the wage scale are still considered to be in poverty. There is only one way to remove poverty and that is ensure that everybody has the same income. That way nobody is below the average wage because everybody is earning it.

Our wonderful government have done their best to bring this about by taxing the workers more and more and handing out more and more benefits to the slackers, but ultimately it's a waste of time because the pigs at the top won't get thier noses out of the trough and bring thier wages down to the same level as everybody elses to make it happen.

Poverty a word used to make us feel guilty that in actual fact means jack tulipe.
