As Action Week draws to a close, we reflect on how the blame for our economic crisis is being laid on those who are feeling its worst effects. The government and politicians, including the Prime Minister, make the false distinction between the deserving and undeserving poor, the striver and the skiver. Some in the media focus almost entirely on negative stories of those experiencing poverty. The stories of the people who have been made redundant, who have been left with no means of support because of cuts to vital services,  and made homeless because of cuts to housing benefits, are too often marginalised and ignored.
