In the first of a three-part series, Nick Davies traces the life of one man who lives on the poverty line.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For £400, Allan Seymour would stop breaking the law. He's been breaking it now for 34 years. He's been punished with fines, punished in the community, punished in prison. Everybody is always telling him they're going to rehabilitate him - he's done all the courses. But here he is: 53 years old and up in court yet again. All for want of £400.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is always the same. As you turn off the dual carriageway and first see the estate in the distance, it appears so neat and clean and comforting, all those tidy rows of red-brick semis with square patches of green and the occasional neighbourhood store, the very model of a public housing project; then, as you arrive on the edge of the estate, you start to see the vengeful graffiti on the walls, the sodden scraps of litter and moulding mattresses and humping mongrels on the grass; and when, finally, a door opens and you step inside and start to see and hear the people there, you sink into a world of infinite difficulty.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the brothels in the West End of London, I came across a particularly poignant statistic. Whereas 10 or 15 years ago a rich man who wanted to take a cane to the back of a young prostitute would have had to pay £100 for each stroke, he can now do so for only a tenth of the price. It's a matter of supply and demand: there is a market surplus of desperate young women.]]></description>
