2. Powerful photos, even though I failed to spot the irony

3. The first photo says it all...

4. Too much of a statement.
Poverty should not be an issue in the West. It is a fundamental disgrace that it still is. It is a bigger disgrace that after politicians agreed to "make poverty history" little has been done.
