The Price Of Food and A Government Rant

The price of food is ridiculous at the moment as we see huge price increases in food....Food for Christs sake!!? More and more people particularly in the UK are forced to contact food banks for help as they can't afford the very basics and isn't the UK supposed to be the 9th richest Country in the world or something? .....pathetic!

What needs to happen is for our Governments to tackle the real reasons why the poor are being singled out. Rich bankers still get their bonuses and pay rises whilst the poor have to try and scrape a living as best they can trying to shave their household budgets just to try and buy some food if they can afford it.

I'm not the only one to think that this Country is going down the drain and if people let this happen then they've won, The Government want poor people to fail, they want people to commit suicide so that they can say that they are doing everything that they can to keep the population from growing.

Of course I'm not talking about the small percentage of benefit scroungers because there are a small minority who just don't give a fuck and want free money. I'm talking about the legitimately poor people who try to find work or can't work due to genuine illness, it's these people I feel sorry for in this time and moment. A large percentage of the rich and well off population don't care as all they care about is themselves and their own wonderful lifestyles.

This Tory coalition liberal retard party as I like to call it is bringing in some of Thatchers dead policies and dressing them up as effective new policies that are supposed to bring this Country out of it's Economic stress, but No! They are doing everything that they can to bring this Country to it's knees with excess Immigration that doesn't seem to be cut like we were promised. To ridiculous welfare reform that sees the most vulnerable in society being penalized!

The price of food has increased considerably and this has had a devastating impact on poorer families. I for one have struggled in the past when I was unemployed for several years and I know what it's like to ask the dole for handouts when you can least afford to put clothes on your kids back. Now that I'm self employed I see things from an outside perspective. I see Jobcentre plus office workers having to stick to Sanctions that they have to meet targets for to reduce the amount of benefit money paid out to jobseekers and this has an effect on peoples way of life if they don't get paid they can't pay to live and it's easier said than done by just saying "Get a Job!" to these types of people.

Jobs nowadays isn't like the old days were you could simply fall from one job to the other and even ask around for jobs anymore. Jobs always when you apply always say you need experience in that job and some qualifications for that job too and if the pesron applying for that job hasn't had any experience or qualified over the person who has, guess which one is going to get the job?

Food banks are great, but just imagine if we didn't have any food banks whatsoever! What do you think would happen then? I can see tax credits disappearing soon too. Help is withdrawing for those that need it and the only way you can try and minimize the damage is to live with your parents forever even when they have long since died....More and more families are going to be lumped together, cramped in tiny Council Houses waiting until they die because no one or nothing is getting better in this stinking Country!
