Nice one Ed. If any of us think back to the last time we felt truly hungry (I could eat a scabby horse, I'm starving, etc.) then we'd remember that any food at all would have done! Although it's better if you can get your '5 a day', you can live without them. But you can't live with no food.

.....and don't the supermarkets just love it? If they lowered their prices considerably more, then fewer people may be facing this crisis. They have the monopoly, which was always on the cards and now we see the sad results.We really need to go back more to home baking etc. How much to make a bread and butter pudding? Next to nothing. Rice Pudding, homemade soup, toad in the hole, these are all the foods I was raised on but didn't make them for my family very often because, it was more convenient to buy a tin of soup.We can blame ourselves some too, I think.

Maybe should do this for third world countries because there is no benefits and aids like here, even water is short,

You taking the piss Morgan?

The point is that Food Banks have existed for thirld world countries.

BUT here we are, in Great Britan, in the 21st century, donating fecking food for starving people!!

starving people, with phones laptops broadband etc...don't make me laugh!

Precisely.

I always let out a little chuckle when I think of the 'poor people' sitting at home surfing the net in front of their Sky box, sipping ale and smoking a ciggy.

Poor, poor people.

Been all their homes have you Boris ?

Lowered them to how much? Nothing?

Would you prefer to return to the days before supermarkets and corner shops with limited choice and high prices?

I don't recall any corner shops selling beans for 9p before the likes of Aldi and Netto arrived.

How clever of you.

Booze ,fags and drugs too.poor poeple my ass.

ALL of them?

We can't all live on F..ing beans Gibbo.

My local greengrocers are cheaper than any supermarket, by far.

"Aldi The German chain has posted a 200 per cent increase in UK profits, and is opening stores here at the rate of more than two a month"

Asda operating profits jumped 6% to £870m

Supermarket giant Tesco has reported a 12% drop in group pre-tax profits to £1.7 billion in the six months to August 25.

Morrisons Pre-tax profits rose 9pc to £442m in the six months to the end of July on revenue up from £8.1bn to £8.7bn. Analysts had forecast profits of £437m.
Sainsbury's increased pre-tax profits by 2.5% to £405m during the six-month period to September 29, according to interim results published today.


So either they are making more than they need, or there is no such crisis!

im not sure i think social services have to refer you but you probably have to be refered to social services too,so maybe through your doctor ??
