From the link: //Food aid charities have identified the emergence of the UK’s “newly hungry”, a growing cohort of people previously in good jobs and enjoying comfortable incomes who have been forced to use food banks and claim welfare benefits for the first time during the pandemic.
The Feeding Britain network said its members were providing food support to a new influx of middle-income families. Typically with mortgages, cars and often self-employed or business owners, they had been plunged into crisis by Covid-related job losses and gaps in the social security system.//
With Covid closing businesses it was bound to happen. Business creates jobs. No business - no jobs. It’s not rocket science.

Thirty years ago my wife and I scrimped to feed our kids. No holidays, jumble sale clothes, car boot toys etc. I think they had certain foods handed out, butter etc. We never went near hand outs. We managed. A sack of spuds went a long way. Long walks with watered cordial drink. We did not consider ourselves deprived. We went without. We avoided debt by not having. The nanny state has turned us into children.
This is the same conversation, just a different day.
Most people live within their means. Hardly anyone would forward think that there might be a pandemic in 10+ years and we might lose our jobs so lets not buy a house.
I've never used a food bank but I have gone hungry.
Before food banks the churches used to help (I assume they still do)

It would be nice if some of you would step out of your 'I'm all right jack' bubbles, your 'everything's alright if only these lefties would stop wingeing', your 'people should pull themselves up by their bootstraps' mentalities and see that society has deteriorated, largely thanks to Thatcher and her goons, from a caring place of sharing people to a bear-pit where the winner takes all and the losers can go to hell.
Even under old-fashioned capitalism, society worked better.
Now? We're on the road to absolute ruin.
