Updated December 21, before the energy crisis, before the cost of living crisis. Assuming random households represent y average occupancy then 8% of households equates to 8% of 67,22000 people = 5.776 million people. So before they cost of living crisis, before the energy crisis the UK had already added 1.177,600 people to the food poverty count reported for 2020/21.

Link?

Like I say, choose to ignore it. Relax, if you believe food poverty isn’t a major concern in the UK. Ignore the pre-cost of living cris Government report of 4.2 million people in food poverty. Clutch your straws. The recession has started, poverty isn’t going to reduce. Parents unable to feed their children is a political time bomb ticking. Feel free to ignore it.

I don’t think extra judicial killing is in the job description, you might know different.

It seems you did miss them. I’m not going to repost racism that has been very rightly removed.

One of the links I provided was a telephone survey, the others were not. Keep a firm grip of that straw. Food poverty in the UK is going to bite the Tories.

I provided evidence, credible links. I also provided evidence, with a link to a Government report, that in the period 2020/21 the number was 4.2 million people. Since then the cost of living crisis and energy crisis has hit. You have not provided any evidence to refute my statements/sources other than some personal dislike of the sources I have chosen. Go ahead, ignore it. Parents unable to feed their children is going to have political consequences.

Hard evidence of what? Show it!

Not my personal direct experience of who uses food banks, so tell us, how do you know these things?

But it makes a handy distraction.

Oh no, you’re on your immigrant thing again.

Ignore it if it makes you feel better. Not being able to afford a night out is depressing, not being able to feed your family or keep a roof over their heads is the stuff of public anger and civil unrest.

Within moments of Britain getting a non white Prime Minister Brits start posting racist memes here on this forum and elsewhere. Tell me again how racism is woven into British society.

I provided links above. Polls suggest a very large majority of people believe ‘Sir’ will do a lot better.

Oh, so racism doesn’t exist then.

I don’t have the foggiest idea why you are singling me out to discuss this hypothetical situation you’ve dreamed up. Your question is any case ambiguous.

The courts and juries disagree

Not at all, your English is better than that of most Brits on the forum.

That wasn’t a ‘simple point’ it was a ‘simplistic point’. There’s a far from subtle difference.

Your retreat to the use of ‘trashy woke journalism’ is noted. I wonder, on what basis did the ECHR intervene? https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20220615-how-did-a-europe-court-halt-britain-s-rwanda-deportation-flight Here’s the best bit, this failed policy is costing millions. It’s amazing how easily the promise of a bit of cruelty to others can sucker some into supporting such predictable waste of money. The scheme doesn’t work but makes you feel good to see someone less fortunate than yourself being subjected to the vindictive use of power. I’ll take the ‘woke’ any day over such vile nastiness.

You need to take that up with the UK Government and the Office of National Statistics. I’m sure your experience and expertise in data collection and analysis will be greatly appreciated.

Here’s the law ‘Justice’ Thomas broke in plain sight: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/455

I’m trying to figure out what relevant point you are trying to make by, once again, ranting about migrants.

Correct, it’s a tragedy. But in the context of this discussion, there something worse than ‘understatement’, denial. Nobody who follows the UK news has any excuse for not being aware that millions of people in the UK are unable to afford regular meals, that millions of school children are turning up hungry. It’s wide reported in the press. And yet we have the usual suspects denying this reality, demanding they be shown evidence, which they ignore anyway. It’s a callous denial of the suffering of others that defines the rightwing.

In 2020/21, before the cost of living crisis bit, the UK Government published a report stating “In 2020/21, 4.2 million people (6%) were in food poverty, including 9% of children. Wriggle away: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9209/
