Two hundred years ago, the first edition of the Manchester Guardian carried shock figures that revealed the true extent of child poverty in the city. Leaked by a source identified as âNHâ, they showed that official estimates of 8,000 children receiving free education â a proxy term for poverty â were wildly inaccurate.
