Your caring sharing Guv'n'ment back on top form again 

"Tory MP Lee Anderson says no massive need for food banks in UK, and real problem people not being able to cook properly."

I don't particularly like agreeing with a Tory, but in this case he's right. Many people I know either can not or will not cook meals for themselves and most of them live on ready meals and takeaways. That's fine for a treat, but for cheaper everyday meals, cook it yourself.

It's the same with heating your house (and yourself). What's wrong with advising people to wear an extra layer in the house and turn down the central heating?

Both are basic common sense if you ask me (I know you didn't), but too many need to be told, instead of working it out for themselves.

I know what you are saying Ritchie, but this guy is conflating 2 entirely different things.
The "real problem" is low wages and high energy costs.
