The economy is growing "faster than expected", inflation is dropping, wages are going up
But people using food banks is at a record high
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-48037122
Come back next week when everyone is spending loads of money, inflation is at zero %, wages will be sky rocketing etc etc
Mind blown

You only have to do a little digging to find this
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46193571 Kinda contradicts all the great news when they are reporting food bank rises ffs |

How many food bank users are genuine and how many see it as free food?

But it still contradicts their "great economy" stories until its proven who the needy really are?

Indeed. The key question, but don't expect anyone of the liberal/left to ask it. People STILL respond to incentives, If the incentive is a reduced shopping bill, don't be surprised if all sorts of herberts show up at the free food banks. |

It is perfectly possible for 90% of the working population to be a bit better off year on year but for the other 10% to be a lot worse off. Many of the food bank users should be getting universal credit but the bureaucrats in charge are clueless. Nobody asks the 90% for their opinion but every reporter wants to talk to the 10%.

lybertyne and alun just think you turn up to a food bank and get to pick up some free food.
hey we care for the poor or working classes but only if we can blame foreigners or muslims for it |

There's nothing "left" or "liberal" about it
The BBC have been caught out bull***tting a lot when it comes to finding agendas, despite it contradicting another of their agendas One minute the economy is doing back flips, the inflation is at a decade low, wages are increasing, but the next food banks are at record highs You can't have it all, BBC But no one is batting an eye lid to it all |

I am amazed that some people are surprised that visits to food banks are going up! they are going
to go up more, the free word is the key. |

you dont need to look at food banks to see how the country is doing,public and private debt are at record levels,the bank of england along with central banks around the world have no idea how to normalise interest rates,Trump is telling the world how great America is doing and then says the Fed should lower interest rates and start QE4,which they are already probally doing to keep the stock market going up,not going to end well
