DEMAND ON FOOD BANKS INCREASED Update 18 Sept., 2020

Update 18 Sept., 2020 - the starvation and desperation escalated to such extend that Truss the main food-bank charity hands out 6 shopping bag full with food, fruit and other essential in a minute.  6 shopping bags in a minute!! It is a crisis which the Tory Gov created and ignores. This country had not been in that state since Victorian's time. People, despite all the help, dying of starvation and in the street.   

Update 9 Nov., 2017 -- After PM May adding a £12bn Welfare Cuts on 1 April, 2017 and now Universal Credit rolled out which pays all benefit in one but claimants have to wait six weeks the food banks have increased 90 per cent. At the same time there is a scandal raging about fatcats squirrel away tens of billions to tax havens to avoid paying tax. Tories' policies! 


Food banks gave 10 million meals last years which is a disgrace for the fifth richest country and evidence of Tory's terrible politics. 

The worst is still to come when the £12billion Welfare cuts has its impact and the £16billion cut of Council fund budged by Mr Osborne and sanctioned by PM May. Now she goes cold bloodedly campaigning for Tories to win with all the promises for a better future which turn out to be lies, the same as GE2015.



BBC reported a six per cent increase of Food Bank users in Scotland last year. In England is was 16 per cent increase in 2015/16.

Yet the DWP spokesperson tries to whitewash it by stating that the department’s aim is to get people back to work and it is the only way to decrease poverty and using Food Bank.

This statement is nothing but a whitewash to blindfold the general public to convince them the DWP is doing the right thing. But according to Trussels Trust most of the people using food banks are working people. Of course, the government and DWP would strongly deny it.

At hand of hard facts, it is absolute unbelievable how Mrs May can stand up and campaign for the Tories? Again, the Tories promise funds for NHS, Schools, Disabled people and pensioners as in 2010 and 2015. Their famous battle cry “The NHS is safe in our hands” but hard evidence shows is was soon forgotten the moment they won. By now, if it were not for the dedicated staff the NHS would have collapsed soon after the 2010 election.
ITS CALLED CONTROL OF THE MEDIA 


Mrs May, none the better, sold 230 contracts to Richard Branson of work in the NHS. Richard Branson is already famous for his badly run trains service. He was not satisfied with receiving 230 contracts; he now sues the NHS for compensation of not receiving other contracts worth £93million. It shows the full extent of Richard Branson’s character cold bloodedly ruin the NHS further.

Already again, Mrs May is promising a better future for the UK despite of the worst record, the list is almost endless. Declassified papers show that Thatcher was planning to demolish the Labour introduced Welfare State but her Cabinet Ministers were horrified and stopped her. This principle seemed to have gone out of the window in today’s Cabinet.



There is no doubt that today’s Tories seem to do anything to working people, the poorest, the disabled, pensioners, NHS, and schools without any calms as long they can feather their nests and of their friends (donors).

They even gagged the press which is against democracy and the first act towards dictatorship. Laugh as you may because it is unthinkable to happened in the UK but look at it realistically and you will see there is a constant demand for total power growing.

If they win again it will convince them they can do anything and get away with. The result will be an endless destruction to NHS, schools, Welfare State and increase poverty.

Not on deciding voting Labour or Conservatives or campaign speeches but on evidence of the last seven years, think when you cast your vote.
Talking about propaganda and campaign speeches which, of course, each party will use to show they are the best to vote for but Labour always shows where they will get the money from for their promises which makes it more believable.  

Facts speak louder than words and the poor, disabled people, NHS, schools were on the verge of break-down. On top of it all a further £12billion cut introduced by ex-Chancellor George Osborne and sanctioned by PM May to start in April, 2017. The impact has not yet fully shown.

Maybe that was one of the reason she called for a Snap Election because after 8th June 2017, the result of that further cut will start to show and she would fear that she will be made to resign. The 553 MPs voting for an election seems not to be a good sign of being popular as a Prime Minister.

It is now up to the people because they are the only ones to have the power to change history.

UK CHANCELLOR GEORGE OSBORNE PLANS £48BILLION CUT 2014 - Updated 2 July, 2015



UPDATED:  2 July, 2015 --
The emergency budget will be read next Wednesday 8 July, 2015 but bet on it it will not all the truth. 

Already cuts had been announced to the Northern Railways which were promised a £38billion upgrade and turn it into a Northern Powerhouse. 


No cuts to cancellation of the super (white elephant) train HS2. Already at  budget of £50billion and will be finally at £100billion or even more.


Independent Living Allowance which hits the most severely disabled people and their carers.


David Cameron withdrew his promise from the General Election not to cut Tax Credit for low wage earners. Also child credit is most properly being cut. A non-party charity Degree 38 is fighting it with all its might.

David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne are out to get the last penny of the most valnurable and already poor people.

Now they are bakc in power they show their real faces.



UPDATE:  19 March, 2015 -- After all that spin in the Budget the reality will be different as it always was. After every budget the cuts, which they did not mentioned, started.  This budget was designed to catch voters.  Although heavily disguised but it still was obvious.  If voted in, then they show their real face like the last time. It is up to the voters to think hard after five years who to give their vote to.


UPDATE: 7 December,2014 ---  In his Autumn budget he mentioned £27billion but will he stick to it or when they win the next General Election not go back to £48billion  as he mentioned before? The Institute of Fiscal  Study even mentioned he has to cut £55billion. Where do these people think they get it from since everything is already cut to the bare bone is not known?

To crown it all, May had the despicable nerve to authorise it and put it into action on 1 April, 2017; after tens of thousands of people been starving, homelessness, suicides and death from hyperthermia for years.

If all the promises from PM David Cameron fail but the promises from Chancellor George Osborne will not.

According to Mr Osborne the £25billion a year so far is not enough to reach his austerity target. He now supposes £48billion a year, according to the Financial Times. The main areas, it is assumed, are the police, council and defence are the main targets.

So far the government set out a 21 per cent since 2010 and look at the hardship it was introducing to the country and its people. Where on earth will they increase it to 33 per cent? People are already starving surviving only on food banks and if the winter is hard they will die by the thousands because they can not afford to heat their homes.  It is easy to push pencils across accounts books but they have to face the reality and the impact it had already.

===================================================
PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS.  THANK YOU..
===================================================

It is also a fact that with all Mr Osborne’s austerity in the last nearly five years the debts of Britain had increase by £500billion. Would we not like to confront the great Chancellor and hear what he has to say about that? They can not whitewash it with having taken it over from Labour. It is £500billion since 2010. What happen to the books with all the cut backs and trying to save?

It will end like at Margaret Thatcher’s time. There were rows of shops closed at the High Street. Streets not swept and parks neglected.  It still was not as bad as it is at the moment. There were still no food banks for desperate people having to go to. Even the food banks have to cut back the size of parcels because there are too many people to  be helped.. 

All this while this government created 4,700 multi-millionaires and 95 multi-billionaires with an average of £95billions. The gap was never so wide since the Victorian times.

Another report states that since the council had to cut back they cut back on the most vulnerable people, the Old Age Pensioner’s meal-on-wheels. If that is not a crime for one of the richest country in the world, what is?  Yes,  you read right Britain is on the 6th place still in spite of PM David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne trying to brainwash the public.

Especially the Old Age Pensioner should be dreaded right. They sacrificed so much for the country of which Cameron and Osborn and their “Elite” have no idea.  All their lives they swam on top of the fat skimmed off the back of hard working people for whom they have no regards.

A government which does not respect their elderly generation is no good. They even cut the £140 Winter Warm payments. But at the same time reduce their fatcats taxes. They literally take the food out of the mouth of old people and give it to the already super rich. It is not only the meal-on-wheels but they are also very lonely and the visit provides them a little break.

In the North East were poverty is most only 25 per cent of councils provide still meals. In the North West it is 48 per cent.

UK TREASURY DEMANDS CORPORATE GIANTS TO SPEND THEIR £500BILLIONS update 6 Dec., 2015



TREASURY CHIEF SECRETARY 

DANNY ALEXANDER
UPDATE 6 DEC., 2015 That happened in 2013 how much more will they have now and they could invest it to create jobs? 

But money was available for war in Syria costing £500million for one mission 

The head of UK’s Treasury Danny Alexander will demand that the corporate giants spend their hoarded billions. It is assumed they are sitting on £500billion. This incredible amount was built up to cushion them from an impact of a recession

That is were the real problem lies.

If they followed his advised it would have saved the economy and people would not have to starve, be homeless and committed suicide.  The corporate giants would have more profit because the workforce would be in full swing.  There would be less unemployment benefit to be paid.  

What kind of politics do the Tories have? Just piking up money in their tax haven and let the people starv, get homeless and commit suicide..
.
Mr Alexander pointed out that they should be committed to invest to encourage a recovery of the ailing economy.  It is surprising that the Treasury noticed now the huge amount of money which could have been invested all the three years to prevent such devastating pressure on the general public.  To run a country down to such an extent that people have to bring back Pawnbrokers, Food Banks and some were forced to steal food to feed their families is a crime in itself.
All of a sudden Chancellor Gorge Osborne noticed that he received a 39 percent increase in stamp duty in one month which enabled him to reduce the public borrowing by £1billion. This again occurred out of the blue, no way.  It also raises the question about the other months, what happen to all the money received before.

==================================================
PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS. THANK YOU
==================================================


All these sudden action smells to clear the books to make them look good since the general election 2015 is coming soon. Doubtfully the public will  forget no matter how clean the books are and the economy suddenly becomes back to normal.  Those three years in which Prime Minister David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne almost squeezed the life out of the poorest families can not be forgotten.

They went far too far and now again let the energy giants get away with blue murder. Last winter with the increase of gas and electricity people already had to decide whether to heat the home or buy food which is incredible in the 21st century and should have never happen. No with the new almost 10 percent increase on top of it one treat to think what will happen.  Yet David Cameron and George Osborne dived like a U-boat and not one action to pressure the energy giants.
