For a century Rowntree has sought imaginative research to alert voters to inconvenient truths about poverty - but without success. The British are the most sceptical about the very existence of poverty. Eurobarometer, measuring EU attitudes, finds we are the most punitive and ungenerous: is that cause or effect of having the most poor?</P></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.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/jul/05/education.communities?gusrc=rss&feed=uknews"><P>The traditional British political response is to tell the poor to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, sometimes fiercely or sometimes benignly, as Gordon Brown did again last week: "I want to see a Britain that is far more upwardly mobile ... But it cannot be achieved without people themselves adopting the work ethic, the learning ethic and aiming high." He had warm words for the richness of untapped potential and praised Labour's great leap forward in education, more GCSEs, more degrees - all true and all good.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FB4B6113-1494-48CD-AAB7-2671E7640D9C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
