You mention a lack of job opportunities for the past ten years, pray tell, which party has been in charge for the past ten years? It's down to governments to foster economic growth. The idea that things would have been the same under any government is baseless conjecture that serves to defend the incompetence of the tory governments.

All im saying is no Government could have controlled the decline in Retail when every year more people turn to internet shopping as their primary source for spending. Im not defending anyone. It's just common sense. A growing population and the lack of Jobs inevitably would have played a huge part in so many needing to turn to food banks.

Im not saying it's right, im saying it's basic logic.
