The story of Jack Monroe makes me angry

I am very impressed by the story of Jack Monroe, a young woman from Southend who has worked out how to feed herself and her 3yo son on around £10 per week.  However it makes me angry to think that she did this out of necessity.



[Edit: the original video linked to above has been deleted, and so I have substituted this new one.]

What kind of society do we live in where a young mother has only ten pounds per week to feed herself and her child?  While many people both in the public and private sectors earn huge salaries which they neither need nor deserve, many more people are struggling to stave off hunger.

This is the natural product of LibLabCon misrule.  If you vote Labour or Tory or LibDem, then you are voting to make people go hungry.  Maybe it will be your turn next.
