As far as food banks is concerned I suggest you have a very close look at The Trussell Trust who are behind many (Not all but the majority) They are making a fortune out of every one the help set up with their CEO on more than the PM. Expansion is their business plan. Many local authorities are refusing to work with them now.

That depends on where you get your information from and when you got it.

You must take into account how the deaths are recorded in different countries, for instance the UK recorded it as a Covid related death if you died and had had a positive test within the previous 28 days. So if you caught Covid and recovered with no ill effects whatsoever, but 3 weeks later were run over by a bus, your death would have been recorded as a Covid related death. Before being admitted into hospital, all were given a Covid test. If positive and you then subsequently died of a heart attack it was recorded as a Covid related death because Covid was mentioned on your death on your death certificate even if it wasn't the primary cause. Crazy but true and resulted in vastly inflated figures.

Apologies to all because don't want to sir up the Covid arguments again as some previous contributors have and been correctly chastised for it. So now shutting up on the subject. Would still like to say to Liz, Go for it girl and prove people wrong. :thumbsup:

Whats a real old phrase.. "Let them eat cake" of course that was Royalty referencing the starving masses, much like what we have today (subbing the royalty for the Conservative party) and not a cheesy quote from a Hollywood scipt about Kevin Costner building a baseball diamond for ghosts
