The price of being single

This article in BBC News Magazine got the bee buzzing in my bonnet once again. I have forever and a day moaned and whinged at the election times as none of the politicians take single people seriously. None of them drive our rights and it is all about supporting people who already have at least another person to support them.



I am single by choice and very happy. I have been lucky to end up being able to share my life with two other single friends in a shared house. But if this was not the case I would be in a king size financial bother with no hope of having holidays ever, not to mention going out or being able to eat healthy.

So politicians, for once be brave and get your proverbial stinking finger out and have a look at what you can do for us singletons instead of making us pay the taxes to support families that are in shape or form relevant to our lives.
