@ dan27notts - 1.07.24 - 12:38pm That's the thing with food banks, when households have more cash left over then they are more likely to donate. When bills keep going up like they have been then people are going to tighten their belt. We are in a so called cost of living crisis..it's actually the norm by the way. The average family is 2000 pounds a year worse off..partly due to Brexit by the way! Food banks and food bank usage has increased almost exponentially so go marry those two facts. |

Remember when the 'Austerity' button was pressed by David Cameron 14yrs ago (6yrs before the referendum even took place), in 2010 - and we were hit with a monumental rise in VAT from 17.5 percent to 20 percent..? The biggest tax grab from the lower classes in known history. And here we are, still in austerity, still paying 20 percent on pretty much everything, despite the damage it's done. |

Austerity was never planned to be a stop gap solution. Cameron even said (a year or so later) 'Brits will have to get used to this'. Double whammy'. 'Cost of living crisis' both phrases used to mentally soften the blow. Brexit has made life a lot worse for many many Brits. |
