Following on from the link provided by DrFilth in a previous thread...

How is this allowed to happen in this day and age?

There's a paragraph that claims a 6th former (16/17- right?) hasn't eaten for 3 days!

Surely even the poorest family could cobble 40p together to buy a reduced loaf from a supermarket?

So has Dictator Dave really won?

Now who would have thought it?

Just one point to correct Jack the hat
Prepay meters can now be on a tariff that is as low as the cheapest alternate method of payment. You need to be on benefits to get it but it is there for the asking.
