Ted is in his mid thirties, he lives with a single mum of four, they aren't in a relationship he's just a mate, Ted has had a topsy turvy life having offended when a youth and spending some time in prison. He has children by two other women and he tries to find employment and a place to live but the cards are stacked against him. He comes across as a lost soul, not knowing what his future holds, and a sense of despair eminates from his being. The system has this man in its loop offering him training schemes, so that quango's can be employed. He finds it dificult to acquire council accomodation for some reason it seems he doesnt understand the new bidding system which is in place for all council properties.
Half a century ago this man would never have found himself in this situation, he would be enfolded in the family enclave, the community he lived in would have cared for his education and his employment would have been in little doubt, crime was almost non existant and life altogether was fine and pleasant.
How things change in such a short time, this man has no prospects, he is forgotten, he is also white and English.
