Comic Relief And The Bbc

[10ClarionSt]

There was a big outcry in the media about the BBC allowing Comic Relief to feature starving people in Britain, Lenny Henry being the lead on that, but it hasn't stopped the Beeb and other channels from broadcasting all the cookery programmes has it? Peopole might be starving in this country, but they can always try and ease the hunger pains by watching Masterchef or Bake Off. :o)

[ummmm]

And the smilie face is for what?

Delia Smith donates cooked food. Saturday Kitchen feeds the new starters first who aren't earning much money. What do you expect?

People in this country aren't starving.

Lenny Henry leaves me with an empty feeling.

Thank goodness for Food Banks then Naomi because some are struggling.

[ummmm]

Not starving, Naomi, but hungry.

[naomi24]

grumpy, some don't have much money but they're not starving.

ummmm, if people are hungry we have to ask 'Why?' I presume they receive benefits. What they spend the money on is their decision.

[ummmm]

And some work and after mortgage/rent and bills there isn't much left over.

I've been there.

[grumpy01]

As I say thank goodness for food banks.

[naomi24]

ummmm, you're not alone.

grumpy, you do realise that food banks exist in other wealthy western countries too, don't you? None of their people are starving either.

[grumpy01]

If as an ultimate result of all these Brexit shenanigans we get a Corbyn government,God help us, we will all be queuing in the streets for bread.

[naomi24]

ummmm, you're not unique.

Naomi - I'm not claiming to be but hunger is not just for benefit claimants.

[naomi24]

ummmm, No, it isn't, but how people manage their money, however little it might be, is up to them. No one need be hungry.
