This is possibly the most condescending piece of nonsense I've ever read on HN, and that's saying something.

  I am astonished to see that you apparently work for a police force. Do you seriously believe that endemic poverty in England can be remediated by regular direct cash payments?

    Direct cash payments plus "no broken windows" social policy would be a good start. That's how you can reasonably kickstart widespread social trust and social capital formation.

    Yes. Because poverty != criminality.
