Fear that three million UK children will go hungry

UK's food bank crisis - charities fear three million children will go hungry during this year's summer holidays

Food banks were practically unheard of in the UK before the 2008 recession, but there are now more than 2,000.

By 2012, three new food banks were opening each week, such was the need for these services — and it shows no sign of slowing down.

The number of people using them has risen by 73 per cent in the last five years. Shockingly, many people using them have jobs, but are still struggling to make ends meet.

Why are people using food banks?

The biggest nationwide study on food banks by Oxford University found almost half of households had unsteady incomes week-to-week.

Nearly 80 per cent reported they had skipped meals or gone without eating —sometimes for days at a time — in the past 12 months.

Half were in fuel poverty and had gone without heating for more than four days in the past year, 50 per cent couldn't afford toiletries, and one in five had been forced to sleep rough.

If this is the position in one of the richest countries in the world, and it's about to get worse - imagine what it must be like in poor countries.

I grew up on porridge for breakfast, school dinners and raiding fields, tickling trout, shooting game and scrumping.
Live off the land!

I grew up in the bombed out remains of London's East End - the only shooting to be had was by Jack "the Hat" McVitie.

Not Brexshitters - they've run away from the Germans, and the French, even the Italians...

...meanwhile they are happy for children to go hungry in Britain.

It's a result of neoliberalism, private provision for everything and zero public services.

All parties except JC's Labour support and implement neoliberal policies.

It's why he is attacked so much.

Cunts is fine - they supported, and still support, the government that did this.

If Corbyn had any integrity or care for the common man he would resign. He'll have to anyway when Boris shores up his support.

Frankly, I am ashamed of the support I once lent him.
