On first meeting Joseph, you might think he has it all. A great job (assistant comment editor at the Guardian), a lovely wife and five gorgeous children.
But that's all changed, thanks to George Osborne's Satanic machinations. Thanks to evil Tory George, Joseph's children will have to go without essentials. As Joesph writes, heartbreakingly, things like "
swimming classes, football practice and music lessons" will have to go. That's not to mention life's little luxuries, "like eating out (one family meal at McDonald's: £20), or the annual holiday (flights out of the question)" - all will from now on be denied to Joseph and people like him.
As Joseph says, "not since China's one-child rule has there been such a penalty for having kids."
So please. Give generously here, to support Joseph's family. Consider all the piano tuners, maths tutors and ballet teachers who the evil Tories will be putting out of work if we don't all step in and do something. You don't have to give much. Just £100 will buy a series of riding lessons for little FILLINNAMEHERE.
