- 13 July 2013 00:03237266Life will be hard, and will get harder.
Expect more food banks UK to come.
People will become hard, they won't trust politicians.
And while more food banks are being set up, the "family" will be knocking a few more 0.5% GDP holes into the economy in extra bank holidays for this, that and the other.
The media will be ramming it down our throats...

Summer of hunger: Huge rise in food bank use as demand linked to 'welfare reform'
Trust running country's largest network says some branches have had double the number of
requests for emergency parcels since start of school holidays
Food banks across Britain are being inundated with requests for emergency meals as families
struggle to feed their children through the school holidays.
The Trussell Trust, which runs the country's largest network of food banks, says this is the busiest
summer it has ever experienced, with some of its branches seeing double the number of
requests for emergency parcels since the start of the holidays.
Parents whose children ordinarily receive free school lunches are among those struggling the
most, as they now have to find an extra meal every day. The trust says the situation is worse
than last summer because of rising food prices - which despite falling slightly in the latest
Government figures are more than 4 per cent higher than last year - and the impact of the
Coalition's welfare changes that were launched in April. - 10 August 2013 11:46240312good point about the school holidays with hard up parents having to find the money for an extra meal each day on top of the costs of taking their children out.
