I`ll bring few bits over, but have you tried them new pot noodles but they're like super noodles in the packets?? They're bari!! 👌👌👌👌
 
Sorry it's the advert riddled Echo but the message is stark and relevant:

Great by the club 👏

Economic and political failure that soup kitchens and food banks are needed in one of the world's wealthier countries but thank gawd for the volunteers and donors.

Yes my dad was fed by soup kitchens for miners families in the 1920's.

Not quite, the welfare state wasn’t around then. To act as a safety net. Your Dad like most of our forefathers had to survive on no support at all.

That ordinary working families are struggling today to feed their children today is scandalous and a failure of successive governments.

The cost of the basics in life now are just so off the scale and unprecedentedly expensive seems to be the issue. There is little or no chance of a whole generation growing up eating anything but processed food as it is the cheapest… which logically leads to an unhealthy and unproductive generation who are NHS and welfare dependent.

The vicious circle will continue.

just what working parents are supposed to do I don’t know… albeit rising the tax and NI threshold to £25k ( circa minimum wage full time) would be a simple help.
