George Osborne has made the shocking admission that he's never visited a food bank. The reason for this is quite easy to understand - he lives in one. Not the kind of food bank that doles out canned food close to its "best before" date to the poor however. No, his food bank is a moveable feast that follows him wherever he goes. He pays nothing for this, nor does his family because, despite being a millionaire, he and his family are fed by us the taxpayer. His property portfolio is paid for by us, his travel costs are paid by us, his TV licence is paid by us as is his subscription to Sky TV, he is paid at a rate that puts him to the top 3% of earners in the country, his pension is a platinum plated final salary scheme, he will get a huge golden handshake when he's finally voted out of office and he will shortly be getting a whopping 11% pay rise. Yet, despite his ivory tower lifestyle, the fact that he's never done a real day's work in his life and has never, never visited a food bank or even knows where the closest one is, he agrees with Lord Freud that demand for food banks has increased primarily because the poor are greedy and grasping. Talk about the pig calling the whippet fat. The stark truth is that since the welfare changes were brought in by Osborne and his gang of self-satisfied wealthy scroungers demand for food banks has risen by a staggering 200% and there has not been a single Tory MP in sight at any one of them.

Osborne Makes Shock Admission Over Food Banks.
George Osborne has made the shocking admission that he's never visited a food bank. The reason for this is quite easy to understand - he lives in one. Not the kind of food bank that doles out canned food close to its "best before" date to the poor however. No, his food bank is a moveable feast that follows him wherever he goes. He pays nothing for this, nor does his family because, despite being a millionaire, he and his family are fed by us the taxpayer. His property portfolio is paid for by us, his travel costs are paid by us, his TV licence is paid by us as is his subscription to Sky TV, he is paid at a rate that puts him to the top 3% of earners in the country, his pension is a platinum plated final salary scheme, he will get a huge golden handshake when he's finally voted out of office and he will shortly be getting a whopping 11% pay rise.

Why The Tories Really Want To Jetison Human Rights.
After several months of propaganda and scare stories in the press about the inequities of human rights legislation the reason has suddenly become clear today. As several charities, themselves under attack by the Tories and their LibDem lackeys, pointed out, food poverty in Britain is now so bad that the government is in danger of failing to meet its international human rights obligations to its own people. No wonder then that Cameron and his fellow crooks want to ditch the legislation - after all if there's no fault there's no foul. Little wonder as well that Cameron kept his promise to visit a foodbank by using the backdoor and only when there was no one, other than the press that is, to see him. The Tories are literally starving people in order to make their rich mates richer and protect the only charity cases they recognise - bankers. This is the reality of the phrase "We're all in this together." They are in clover and we are in ever-increasing poverty. Make no mistake this is a crime and should be treated as such by the international community. Cameron and his henchmen are no better than any other bunch of crooks masquerading as politicians in some Middle-East dictatorship and should be treated just the same. Pretending that the this country is "democratic" in any real sense of the word should not be enough for them to hide from their crimes.
