Emphasised content - we keep hearing this - but what definition of 'poverty' are they are using? Underlined content - I've been to lots of corners, not seen many foodbanks on them though.

Really? 7 million children are now living in poverty according to the BBC. We have foodbanks on every corner. People can't afford their rent and are in danger of being made homeless, etc... austerity, cost of living crisis... Something is going wrong somewhere... I stand buy what I said. The rigmarole you have to go through to get it far outstrips what is necessary and is intended to make it almost impossible to get for some needy people. Why do you think the Citizens Advice bureau and other help now have such long waiting lists? We don’t have foodbanks on every corner. I couldn’t point one out anywhere near here . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Grey Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 The lefties are outraged because Starmer has refused to say that he will remove the two child cap on benefits What they don't realise is that he will do it but after the election so they should just stay quiet However for the people who work hard It should be a wake up call to taxpayers that Labour will go back to the days when it was better to sit at home all day than to work a 40 hour a week job They want to allow millions of people to have as many kids as they want and to get the taxpayer to pay for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Food banks" is the new shock n awe word. Anyone would think the whole population is using them the amount of times it's spoken about.
