One in seven adults faced food insecurity in the United Kingdom in the year leading up to the middle of 2022, research from the Trussell Trust has found this week.

A survey conducted by the Ipsos polling firm alongside the Trussell Trust, which operates a network of food banks across the UK, has found that 14 per cent of all UK adults faced the threat of going hungry in the 12 months to mid-2022.

The research found that having a paid worker in the household was not determinative in whether people were forced into using food banks to stay afloat, with one in five people who used a Trussel food bank coming from a working household.

We're all in this together! (S) I remember that BS slogan in 2020.

I thought Brexit was supposed to improve Britain. It seems like it’s not doing well.

All that wasteful COVID spending in the UK now comes back as inflation.

[Nextrush]

Brexit was sabotaged by COVID policy IMHO.

Ask the outspoken anti-Trump, anti-American mayor of London
Sadiq Khan for some halal food pantry donations.

Clickbait I didn’t follow:
Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, writes about why Pride is still so important in the fight for LGBTQ+ equality.

I couldn't see the stuff on TWITTER (they are down right now for reprogramming to block out the riots that are spreading world wide) but I can guarantee you that inflation is going to destroy the common man's way of life.

It's got nothing to do with BrExit, but everything to do with soaring production and transportation costs as a result of sanctions on you-know-who, coupled with an exploding immigrant population [no pun intended] (more than 650,000 arrivals last year - at least those that we know about) into a country that couldn't produce 40% of its food needs anyway.

Johnson still isn’t hanging from a lamppost. Shame.

Yes, that was some of the stupidest stuff I ever heard. I was getting emails from Jack in the Box and they went crazy spamming me (of course, duh) and there was always that stupid line “We’re all in this together” from the CEO.

It was idiotic.

All that wasteful COVID spending in the UK America now comes back as inflation.

Just to add.....

Thanks to Fauci for spending U.S. Taxpayer dollars to fund gain-of-function in Wuhan.......

It was a bipartisan problem in the end only Congressman Thomas Massie Republican of Kentucky gets the “A+” for steadfastly opposing the initial spending of two trillion dollars in March of 2020.
