While our Oxbridge millionaires, sitting in The Westminster Houses
of Hypocrisy and Corruption, mouth off about “growth” and “making
the right decisions” and the blue corner waffles with the red
corner with meaningless phrases and lots of “here, here's”, you and I see
hunger and desperation. This is one of the richest nations on the
planet, yet its people go hungry. The Trussell Trust, which has 400
food banks across the UK, states that it handed out food parcels to
more than 350,000 people, between April and September this year. What
makes this even more criminal is the fact that a third of these were
children. The number of people relying on food banks for survival has
tripled over the last year.
Here in the UK it is not just a handful of families that are
somehow in need of help. This is a national crisis caused by the
deliberate actions of the bankster friendly government. This is a
nation slowly being driven to deprivation by forced “austerity”.
Some leading experts state that in the UK hunger has now reached the
level of a “public health emergency” A recent letter to the
British Medical Journal signed by a group of senior academics from
two leading universities, the Medical Research Council and a group of
doctors, said that the effect of Government policies on vulnerable
people’s ability to afford food needed to be “urgently”
monitored.
There letter states that there has been a rapid rise in the
number of people requiring emergency food aid, plus the doubling of
the number of cases of malnutrition seen in hospitals, and a rapid fall in the number of calories being consumed by the public at large. They state
that these are, “all the signs of a public health emergency that
could go unrecognised until it is too late to take preventative
action,” Research into this problem, commissioned by the Government
itself, has had its publication delayed, we can only speculate that
the reason is that the government may find its result embarrassing.
This is the meaning of “austerity”, this is the ConDem's
“steady growth”, this is Osborne's “right decisions”, this is
the financial mafia's plans falling into place. Sweatshop Britain
leading the way to sweatshop Europe. We have been told that these
policies will continue until 2020, how many food banks will we need
by then, how many cases of malnutrition will the hospitals handle by
then? This is the promise of another 7 years of falling wages,
slashing benefits and social services, and rising prices. Where will
your standard of living be by then? Do you honestly believe that at
that magical 2020, everything will suddenly be great, and hunger and
poverty will disappear? Accept it, if you accept this present system,
you accept an endless downward spiral to poverty and deprivation.
Surely you want more than this.
