They must of thought that breatharianism is a legitimate option to food bank dependency.
Ah crap, sorry. I don't know how to post articles, could someone help please?
That news source looks pretty sensationalist.

That seems awfully impartial.

I'm waiting for the Beeb to pick this up before believing it.
The mirror is like a left wing version of the Express

Except even the express isn't this bad.
The Mirror is a load of wank, don't bother with it.
People shouldn't source tabloids non stop, they're all biased.
I think I saw this debate on BBC Parliament last night.
Labour wanted increased spending on food banks, while the Coalition says all that does is mask the issue.
The government probably has a point, and I've no doubt the promise of free food at a drop in centre is abused and means less for those that need it.

Food prices are really, really bad now, and I don't believe its because of the recession or current economy, supermarkets are taking advantage of the situation, fucking over suppliers and taking much of the profit themselves. I could buy 3 onions from Sainsbury's for £1.50 or I could buy a entire sacks worth for £1.20 from the local market. The problem is most markets are dead these days, and I'm lucky to have one in my town.
I'm living a life were all I do is buy food to survive week to week, like a life tax. I don't even buy junk food. I'm actually tempted to look into food banks myself.

Yes because the BBC have never, ever had a shred of bias.

But again that's typical Tory behaviour. They say they want to address the issue, but it's their policies that are the issue.
