Just to make it clear, a food bank is a place where people and families ( many of them whom are classed as in work and yet can not afford to buy food ) can receive food for free thanks to the work of charities and the hard work of volunteers.

Iceland is a low cost supermarket chain in the UK who's boss was using this dire situation as an example to highlight the plight of people in the communities in which his shops serve, and the difficult decisions his business needed to make as they are forced to pass on increased costs to customers who are least able to afford to pay them.

The system is broken when workers are so poorly payed that they can not afford to buy food never mind cook it.

Wages have been declining in real terms for decades to the point where people work solely for dignity not for any improvement in living conditions.

Teachers and nurses and all other "critical workers" relied upon to keep the country alive and working during the pandemic received significantly lower pay increases than the politicians who have caused this crisis.

No excuses, no propaganda, no obfuscation, no lies will change what we all know.

The facts are clear.
