Food Banks
20 years ago you didn't see any, now they are everywhere
But why?
Because all donations made to Food Banks are tax deductible for the supermarkets, and of course if your staff/benefit claimants rely on Food Banks you can pay less
So they have spread like the plague

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

Israel is committing war crimes. The EU and USA sends it money, weapons, mercenaries. Tech Companies censor info. EU Police beat and arrests protestors. USA financially cripples those who hit the UN and ICJ for speaking the truth. So....sorry if I don't take the OMG RUSSIA thing seriously.

“It is very convenient for Israel. The pressure is off and they have smashed the whole place up, and can still kill as they please.”

People keep talking about the "ceasefire" in Gaza.
It wasn't real to begin with. They never stopped the genocide, nor did they stop the occupation of Palestine.
Colonialism is still on-going, and Isreal being the Colonisers they are, they won't stop their Colonialism with a "ceasefire" deal.

Labour is now clearly scraping the bottom of the barrel.
People don't emigrate ro make a country better. They do it to have a better quality of life. In the process of doing that, they also contribute to the new country.
Any other idealised motive for immigration is pie in the sky!

At an Israeli MoD-sponsored defense expo this week, officials from Germany, Norway, and the UK viewed weapons advertised as “battle-tested” on Gaza and Lebanon—systems used in strikes that killed civilians. Israel is turning its violence against civilians into a global sales pitch.

Immigrants have helped, improved and enriched this country more than the likes of Farage and Yaxley-Lennon could do in a thousand lifetimes, so it would be quite nice if the government didn’t pander to feeble dickheads like them with rhetoric like this.

Before Brexit, the UK was tied to EU rules that stopped governments from handing out public money to big companies just to boost their profits in SEZs. It was called “State aid”, regulations designed to keep things fair and prevent a race to the bottom.

They've done an interesting thing in Oxford which is to bring in a small congestion charge in the city and at the same time make the park and ride super cheap with a free return bus ticket. It seems to have changed people's habits very quickly. Make public transport a no brainer and people use it!
