PASTEL ON COLOURFIX CARD

'The Rain Can't Wash Away These Tears'


This piece is used to portray the face of one of the thousands of children who are traumatised living in third and fourth generation unemployed Britain.
They are the future that don't have one. They are surrounded by depression, alcoholism, drug addiction and poverty.
The government pours millions into so called initiatives that feed computers and over paid suits, whilst the social ground forces are run on a shoestring with their hands tied up in red tape.

And all the while Gordon Brown and his merry men take from the rich and the poor and give it to themselves.
