Child LabourThere is a special part of Hell I'd like to reserve for those arses that order every single Sunday paper. Do you know how heavy that makes the bundle of papers some poor kid (ie me) has to lug around? Funny how your papers always seemed to get mangled in your letterbox...
I loved my paper round, but, looking back, I was getting paid peanuts to ruin my back and cycle around in the cold and dark. How were you exploited as a child?

Public ServicesThe NHS, schools, and any other public service you care to mention are partly run by the children of people actually employed by them. For NHS parents I've helped move an entire Drs surgery from one building to another, done filing, checked out the dates on medication, and loads of other stuff. A friend did so much work at her mum's school that displays she had done were praised in OFSTED reports.
Your public services are shored up with unpaid child labour.
