Food Banks and Poverty- was Nye right?

I have met people who choose between fuel and food. I don't know if that counts as starvation.

Are people starving to death in this country ?

Quite honestly, this is about what's happening in this country; does it not bother you that people have to depend on food banks even when they have jobs or do people have to be riddled with disease and starving for you to feel sympathy....….can you tell me at what level your empathy button is triggered?

I haven't seen any reports of people starving to death in the UK and I don't think I will. Do post links if there are any such reports. Though I should be shocked by such news, if there are any such reports I feel I should know about them.

Elsewhere across the world famine and starvation are also gradually being eliminated except in war zones. See ourworldindata.org.

What worries me about food banks etc is that charity has replaced social care and as long as we give to such things the government will not feel responsibility. And, if we cut off that charity we will be held responsible.

NYE Bevin has always been a hero of mine he was a South Wales miner as was my maternal Grandfather. Not too far from the truth if we go on as we are.
