We are a country of vast inequality
I was surprised to see on television that one of the richest parts of the south actually had a food bank.
On reflection, I suppose we are a country of vast inequality and the very poor live almost cheek by jowel with the extremely rich.
Food banks are a civilised attempt to allow the poor to have a basic food supply.
It is sad that they are necessary, but God bless those who run them. — Ray Logan, Wellington Street, Peterborough
