How should the UK hungry be helped?

[BrilloPad]

People do move today for jobs.

For example migrants from Poland, Bulgaria and Romania. However I don't want have to keep stepping over people sleeping on the street.

Almost all those on the street are nothing to do with money. Its other issues.

Poor going hungry because they can't cook, says Tory peer - Telegraph

There you are: cooking lessons.

Why not? I remember at school we had once a fortnight a double lesson called Domestic Science which although was primarily cooking, also taught you the basics of looking after a household. The room ws full of cookers, some washing machines, irons and other household implements. I presume they don't do this at school anymore?

(there was also needlework every fortnight which included knitting, etc. which was, to tell the truth pretty boring apart from the teacher who was, what is nowadays called, a MILF)

Really - "Almost all"

I must remember to tell my brother-in-law he's a liar.

What does your brother-out-law do?

I have a friend(yes really!) who helps crisis out going round the homeless. He reckons that most homeless have drug or mental health issues.

The media love to portray all those in poverty as scumbag parasites. The reality is that many are in real hardship through bad luck coupled with maybe a few bad decisions. Some foodbank customers are in work - but are so badly paid they need the extra help.

only when they quit their:

sky tv subscriptions
smoking habit
drinking habit
quit owning a car

etc etc etc

Yes - but we're not just talking about Scots here. The question covers the whole of the UK, which the majority of your countrymen voted to stay in.
