Listening to the radio and seeing the recent thread by Jack Monroe (link below, please read the full thread). Read this thread and remember that we're the 6th richest country in the world. Headlines are that whilst 'the cost of living' is going up with inflation at over 5%, the real costs are increasing exponentially! The part that got me was that store branded ready-meals and the famous 'Dine for £10' stay the same price - meaning these costs are, as ever, discriminately impacting on the poorest.
Five million people in the UK live in food poverty - one in eight of us!
Millions resorting to Food Banks
Food Banks now needing cold foods because those people can't afford to heat things like pasta, rice etc
How is this allowed to happen!?!?
