ok... just the one more mention of aspiration

‘’Much is made of 'aspiration' and this is usually defined by the armchair commentators as being an individual rather than a collective aspiration. I believe it's time that we dedicated ourselves much more to ending the gross inequality in Britain, the homeless and housing crisis, and the need for a million people to use foodbanks just to survive. We should never be ashamed or afraid to stand up for the poorest and most marginalised. Let us dispense with inappropriate words like 'handouts' in this debate. Welfare is a right that is about each and everyone of us being housed, educated, fed and kept in good health - the hallmarks of a civilised society" – Jeremy Corbyn
