More particularly Dover who got highlighted as about a quarter of families are getting mired in ever more debt and are using payday lenders to feed their kids.
It says a lot about moral values in one of the world's biggest economies.

This is a real big issue and is going to have massive repercussions in the future.
Too many people still think that food banks are a gimmick and are only being abused by benefit cheats.
That is far from the truth.
Food Banks are a lifeline for many genuine families who are struggling through these savage cuts and they offer much more than just with help with food.
Most, if not all FB, are working with other help groups, to make sure that proper help is given to people, by finding out why they have ended up on the FB doorstep.
