              in? </SPAN> 
One recent survey showed that about 6.5 million adults go without 
              essential clothing, such as a warm waterproof coat, because of lack 
              of money.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.oxfamgb.org/ukpp/poverty/thefacts.htm">Over 10.5 million people live in financial insecurity: 
              they can’t afford to save, insure their house contents, or 
              spend even small amounts on themselves.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.oxfamgb.org/ukpp/poverty/thefacts.htm">a dark shadow poverty casts, particularly 
              over children’s lives and their futures. Eighteen per cent 
              of children go without two or more items that the majority of the 
              population says are necessities, such as adequate clothing, toys, 
              or three meals a day.<A href="#f3"><SUP>3</SUP></A></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.oxfamgb.org/ukpp/poverty/thefacts.htm">Children from poor homes are more likely to die as 
              a baby or a child, and have lower life expectancy overall. They 
              also have a greater likelihood of bad health, a greater risk of 
              unemployment, and a lower chance of high educational achievement.<SUP><A href="#f5">5</A></SUP></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.oxfamgb.org/ukpp/poverty/thefacts.htm">Poverty strips you of your dignity.’
