    Who's paying for this food when it's not donations?

    Rubbish, I know way more than six people who can afford food – 6% is 6 in a hundred nit 1 in 6. And who is donating???? The other five?

    hang on.
    If everyone is so poor, WHO is giving all this food to the food banks ?
    Or is "food bank" the same BS as "climate change."
    Dog whistle TV. "The public are stupid, we can use that" type of attitude.

    It's free. Ever been to a wedding? What happens when the bar and food is free.

    And yet even in poor neighbourhoods in England you see cafes, nail bars, mens and women beauty lounges and loads of takeaways, plus amazon delivery vans stopping everywhere. There are even cafes still opening. And then there are swarms of deliveroo bikes taking takeaways to people. i find it hard to understand if so many are supposed to be in 'food poverty' – maybe they spend money on wrong things?…..

    Don't worry citizens, there will ALWAYS be a few more million to spend on foreign illegal migrants, or to throw to Ukraine. Your starvation and cold this winter are all for a good cause!

    They're putting immigrants at the front of the foodbank queue where I live. I just walked away.

    Food Banks started in Britain in 1991.

  11. @Aspartame69

    January 26, 2024 at 5:36 pm

    Similar to the number of migrants that came here for a free handout. Coincidence?

    I've seen people going to a food bank in expensive cars,I know 6 people and they don't use a food bank where do they get these figures from

    But people still buying xmas presents and spending hundreds of pounds!
    I've seen greedy people joining queues for foodbanks because the food is free and offer quality food items! I've seen many driving expensive cars, and I will never take someone's else food because it's free!!!

    One in six using food banks? Complete and utter garbage.

    I survive on 12k a year yet people on 40k a year are using food banks and driving away in brand new Audi’s. Live within your means , not beyond them

    Fake – in the UK its beyond ridiculous that anyone goes hungry

    Fake Headlines – as the video makes clear.

    Why not report live from the 4* Barbican Thistle Hotel in London which is closed for asylum seekers? Got free meals, swimming pool & all sorts 😅 even harassing the locals outside. The police have been told to keep that from the media 🤐

  22. @Thereishope664

    January 26, 2024 at 5:36 pm

    How many of our own people could we feed and keep warm if we wasn't keeping illegal immigrants in the lap of luxury in 4* hotels. Bloody shameful.

    "Food banks being used by 1 in 6"
    Funny how that's the same number of people not born in this country 🤔

  24. @zaftra

    January 26, 2024 at 5:36 pm

    Yeah, um, it's people grabbing free food; of course they're being used.

  25. @stukavonferno8858

    Absolute nonsense, I don't know a single person that has used a food bank! I wonder how many of those that actually do use food banks have TV packages, mobile packages, pets, umpteen kids and continue to buy treats/junk food rather than put together 'proper' meals. I'm fed up of hearing the left wing media say teachers and nurses are having to use food banks, this is total BS as nobody on 25K plus needs to use a food bank. If this was the case over half of the population would be using them. Food banks should be means tested!

    Theres a big difference in 2022 to the 1960s when I grew up firstly most of the people in my community were poor & there were no handouts in fact if you said to your neighbour I will give you some food for your kids they would slam the door in your face and say " do you think I cannot afford to feed my kids ". Now people expect handouts.

    Thank goodness its just Britons! It would be so embarrassing if our Albanian guests would have to put up with this!

    Unprecedented number of losers and scroungers getting free food. Never.
