Documentary about the state in the UK. An interesting piece, albeit a bit depressing. Is it really this bad?

    This is really sad to see. More and more food banks will be needed for the ones to come. Any idea of what can be done to end this? A change in goverment does not seem the answer. We had so many and it’s getting worse every year, and not only in the UK.

      We’ve not really changed government though - we’ve just swapped right-wing Tories for further-right-wing Tories, with occasionally slightly-less-right-wing Tories. The same government has fundamentally been in power for 13 years. We’ve said “More of that please” twice.

      The last Labour government (Tony & Gordon 1997-2010) was thought by some to be drifting a little close to the right

      This is our national punishment for not electing Ed Milliband because he looked a bit funny and ate a sandwich wrong in a photograph.

      We’re sorry Ed and can we please have you back. Your policies were actually really good and Clegg was lying about the student loan thing :(
