Unfortunately you vociferously campaigned against the only Labour regime seeking to put a serious dent in the number of operating food banks. The current Labour party couldn't give a fuck.
You're right, in the event Corbyn had won we'd all be subsistence farmers by now - there'd definitely be no Kulaks, hence no food banks.
Nurse!

If you seriously believe there'd be fewer food banks under a Corbyn administration it's you that needs your head testing.
*it was a joke btw

A bit like if you believed the economic benefits of Brexit would outweigh the carnage that is now upon us

Not really. Unless you believe the carnage that is now upon us is entirely Brexit related.

Some of it obviously is Proth and we didn't have to do it.

Took down the umbrella just in time for the storm. Anyone who hadn’t factored in that the world is unpredictable was naive then and don’t like to own the stupidity now.

Here we go again. Here is question #846 that will not be answered.
If our current situation is caused or exacerbated by Brexit, how come the rest of Europe is also experiencing high inflation, fuel poverty, labour shortages, rise in Food Bank use etc. to the same extent or worse as the U.K.?
(Apart from France whose inflation rate has not quite hit 7% yet)
.
Perhaps we could ask a German motorist if Brexit is to blame for his sky high petrol costs!
“Germany: Gas Prices Reach all Time High”
berlinspectator.com/2022/03/09/germany-gas-prices-reach-all-time-highs-3/
Another of those “Random” web sites I use, you know the ones like this, from an actual German article which, apparently, have no relevance!
It’s back to the old “Rocketing timber prices, building materials in short supply, HGV driver shortages etc all caused by Brexit yet all worldwide problems. How come?
Any update on Mr. Bannister’s quote yet?

I bet all those suffering an average decrease in the relative value of their wage of 3% are glad they listened to the wisdom of those door knockers in the shires who were convinced they’d be coining it in with an improvement in the negotiation of the value of the worth of their employment skills. Almost as if people who are convinced they know everything turn out to know very little.
