I want a society like this too. But I don't want a society where the

advocating.

the problem with this poverty line thing is that this is different for
a single person and a family with children

I have already shown that it is perfectly possible for a single person
to live a reasonable life on NMW (assuming that the job is a permanent
full time one)

But the same amount is never going to be sufficient for a family

That's very arguable depending on what they rent and how many kids they
have.

But you can't realistically suggest that all jobs have to pay an
amount sufficient for a family

Some countrys have done that.

It's a nonsense

Nope.

OK... So...

1. How much is "sufficient" for a family of four (2 children) in the UK?

Not possible to say. The way people live is so radically
different even with a specific group like that one.

Just for clarity, let's posit a location in... er... Birmingham.

Even doing that doesnt help. Even if you just restrict it to Benefits
Street.

2. Explain why a single teenager is worth the same amount for serving in
a café which is not making a huge profit.

Never said they were.

Sorry... faulty editing on my part... this was meant for "tim...".

No

it was meant for the person who replied to me

I said much the same as you did
