I quote "The data, gathered by the UN, was based on a nationally representative telephone survey of 1,000 adults" and printed in the Guardian which also says " according to estimates of hunger in the UK." from that survey! Also please note that the article is 6 years old and is fronted by the Food Foundation who state at the top of the "article" "Food Foundation reveals scale of food insecurity, with 4.7 million thought to be regularly going a day without eating" The foundation estimates that 4.7 million people aged over 15 were severely food-insecure, meaning they were to (sic) poor afford enough food and sometimes went without. A further 3.7 million were classed as moderately food-insecure. The data, gathered by the UN, was based on a nationally representative telephone survey of 1,000 adults. The foundation said although the survey methodology was robust the low sample size meant the findings should be treated as preliminary." As that is only a preliminary report from 6 years ago where is the follow up substantive report?

Who is "your" and "they" in your post?

And you consider that a basis for your quote "8 million people in the UK can’t afford regular meals," Please provide some actual proof rather than a "telephone survey" (sic) of 1,000 people. (Possibly phoned from a Guardian mailing list!)

I just can't "see" this joke! ???? Are there any far seeing teachers, or better still pupils, who can give some insight to this unsightly problem?

Not to "8 million people in the UK can’t afford regular meals,"

This is your statement "8 million people in the UK can’t afford regular meals," It is up to you to prove your figures, not me!

This is from the same article which you seem to have missed in almost it's entirety! "But members of Conservative associations as well as local councillors said they were “delighted” by how the contest played out. Tom Herman, from Hoveton, who is deputy chairman of North Norfolk Conservatives, said that North Norfolk Conservative MP Duncan Baker, who backed Mr Sunak, “consults very widely in the constituency – not just among Conservative Party members – and listens to those views and makes an informed decision on who to back for leader”. “That to me is equally democratic,” Mr Herman said. “He really has his finger on the pulse of the constituency.” "Roy Aldcroft, a Conservative councillor at Shropshire Council, said: “I’m very pleased it has been sorted out, that we will now have a clear path to sort out the many problems that we will be facing this winter. “The fact that we did not get an opportunity to vote, I’m sure some members were quite upset about that but to be quite honest we need to put the country first.” Carole Jones, a Conservative councillor for Dorset Council, also said: “I’m quite pleased we didn’t have a vote,” adding she is “more than happy” with the outcome. “If our MPs do not get behind Rishi (Sunak) now, when we come up for election, people like us will be mullered,” she said before telling them to “get their bloody act together”. Ramji Kanji Chauhan, deputy mayor of Harrow, said he agrees that the quick leadership process has been better than going to a vote among members. “With a vote, it goes on for a long time, we make the country unsettled,” he told PA. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Campbell, leader of Kensington and Chelsea council, said: “I’m absolutely delighted that Rishi is going to be prime minister. “I think we need stability now,” she said, adding that the turbulence has been difficult for councils who need “clarity” so they can plan. On Mr Sunak, Mrs Campbell said he is “sensible”, “clever” and “decent”, adding: “It is quite nice to have a grown-up back in control.”

That seems to be what you are doing with any hard evidence!

Which proved nothing apart from bias and lack of facts!

We have asked for a reliable source quoting facts, not telephone polls of 1000 etc, but so far just hot air! I do not think anyone denies that there are people in poverty in the UK and around the world but unsubstantiated figures demean, not help their argument!

Sorry! I was not getting at you. I was trying, unsuccessfully, to back up your comments about people not understanding, or wishing to understand, how the system actually works,

Someone does not appear to know the difference between Party MPs selecting a unanimous winner and the members of a political party who did not therefore need or be required to vote. The leader of any party needs the backing of MPs to get their legislation through the house, not the vote of the party members!

What election and how?

There is no longer a "British Empire" Just Britain and the "Commonwealth of nations"!

Cr@P! Get the kids exposed to different languages from different accents and nationalities!

Not so much sticky as bound up in more than red tape! Could they force me to stay with my end of the bargain?

Do they have a 14-day refund policy?

I suggest he looks for an intensive care unit with a private ambulance service if in the UK!

The headline says "Volunteers Wanted for Drug Gang Extortion" I was going to apply until I read the article in full! ????

That comment and the links should be in the joke section! Provide some real hard evidence from reputable mainstream sources please, not "axe to grind" sites with poor or no evidence!

Try this guy. Very good! Staff speak English ซ่อม Mac เชียงใหม่ by CMNS | Chiang Mai | Facebook

But they will have at least five police generals!

Out of the frying pan and into!!!! PS; are we allowed wok(e) jokes/comments or are you giving me a grilling and I am now toast?

To put/consume where? PS; Do you think it would be used to clean the keyboard or the memory?

Is he sitting still waiting for another promotion or just so cocksure that he can now pi!ss in the wind with impunity!
