Buttons are still greyed out so I can't embed the graphs like I was going to but here's rough sleeping.

And foodbanks.

Feel free to tell me how we're all better housed and better fed than we were. Graphs are good, I like graphs.
Sorry I don't have any graphs right now Jim,
(However Hitchington does!!)
but anecdotally in my area homelessness and poverty are increasing.
Lots of people priced out of renting, I always get requested for park ups, but it's far more common now.
'Foodbanks' and other feed the hungry schemes seem to have become embedded even in our area, which also has many hugely affluent people.
The gulf between the haves, and the have nots is getting wider.
Tory policy is to blame the poor for being poor, and then just make em poorer via withdrawing benefits, and not doing anything about the cost of living.
And then colluding with tabloids, to persuade lots of people to give not a sh*t, and or to blame those already struggling people over there >>>>>>>>
I don't think we really need graphs to illustrate any of the above - just a tiny bit of paying attention next time yr out and about.
But OK graphs reinforce it all.
However graphs won't persuade people who giveth not a c@rp to give a c@rp..
