I don’t suppose stuff like this will feature much in any news or by-election debates. They all peddle the line that we spend too much on welfare & can’t afford it.

Younger people might not realise that food banks are a recent phenomenon. They shouldn’t exist in an affluent society. They do so because of the unfair distribution of wealth. This is not considered to be news, ever…
