I don't give a damn of people say about me having a dig at the Tories - this is NOT a third world country, where those countries depend on the Red Cross for food.
During the war our troops depended on this supply. Cameron and Clegg boast that they will continue to send billions of pounds to countries that dont need this AID
Yet, the people in this country cannot afford food to live and depend on food banks and now commit shoplifting to feed there familes.
This should not happen here, its NOT Labour fault, its the coalition that has brought in the Bedroom Tax, Even l have to downsize and l have a job. I cannot pay bills myself and have to ecomise to save money.
It should NOT happen in this country for the Red Cross to feed the poor. The next thing we will have is the Sally Army on street coorners with food trolleys.
When l was a young kid, l depended on jumble sales and free food given out by shops and going down the market on a Saturday night picking up scraps of food and meat to survive.
This is 2013, when food is plentiful, and yet we have families depending on charites - IT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

Arthur there was terrible hardship in the uk long before May 2010.
what makes you think this is a third world country? please explain this to me without using the words Tory or Cameron or Clegg or coalition. (add Maggie into that as well)
Have you been shopping lately? Have you seen the cost of staple items on the shelves of the big 4 supermarkets? do you think that the upsurge in prices is down to the current government or do you think that prices are artificially inflated to boost profits for shareholder's.
What happened when you was a kid growing up has no relevance to your or others positions today.
You really do feel hard done by don't you?
We found out on Tuesday that our income will be dropping significantly due to my wife being made redundant. You won't hear me banging on about it, blaming others for our shortfalls. If thing are tight, which I'm sure they will be we will make cutbacks, sky/vm will go, phones, broadband and anything else that could be classed as a luxury.
You say that you can't pay your bills and have to economise, yet from what i can see you don't seem to be struggling that much, you have not long brought a car, your broadband seems to be working well and yet you can't pay your bills?
Well my friend its all about prioritising and you doing seem to be able to do it that well. You seem to be happy blaming everyone else for issues that arise in your household instead of taking stock and putting your own house in order.
Whilst I personally know many people who are struggling financially and read about many others online and in newspapers etc, you are by far the grumpiest old git I have ever come across. My wife and kids calk me a grumpy old man, but by Christ if they knew you I would be on the same level calmness as the Pope.
