Personally I feel all supermarkets should be compelled to donate nearly out of date food, that otherwise they would throw out.
Some supermarkets are particularly guilty of slinging out particularly high value items like smoked salmon etc, and then dousing the stuff in bleach so no-one could take it. Scandalous.

No way, I go down to Markies during lunch every day for the yellow sticker stuff. Saves me loadsamoney and makes it almost a reasonable price for what you get.
Though I wouldn't care if Asda gave their stuff away.
Problem would be some of the useless scroungers suing saying their human rights were being infringed by being given stuff that was was almost out of date. Even if it was free.

Food Banks are an indication of how far this country has sank due to mass immigration and membership of the EU, we are now a low wage economy that is why millions require state aid just to able to go to work.
There was a time when we had shipbuilding, engineering industries, young people could get an apprenticeship and expect to get a decently paid job and be able to buy a house and raise a family without relying on the state, nowadays getting a job in Macdonalds is deemed an achievement.
I hope there is a revolution in this country but don't hold your breath on that one, in a nation where millions of people listen to the Archers nothing is going to happen anytime soon.

It's got very little to do with mass immigration and the EU. It's to do with us borrowing too much money over the past 50 years and paying ourselves too much money for too little work.
We are in competition with the Chinese and Indians now and we are having our butts kicked. When we have a similar standard of living to the Chinese and Indians we will be able to fight back. Food banks are going to become more common and so are other things that we aren't going to like.
If there was a revolution in this country and the last Labour goverment ended up being lined up against a wall that wouldn't bother me too much. Unfortunately you really need to blame the people who voted for them. And after the revolution we would still be stuffed, though it would certainly feel good for a few weeks.

If it's a case of paying ourselves to much money for to little work how come the Germans on average work less hours than the British and have less qualifications yet they are one of the few countries in Europe that have any surplus cash?could it be that German employers and their employee's work together in a spirit of enlightened self interest and for the Benefit of the country as a whole, unlike the British employers who are addicted to cheap labour even if the social fall out is bankrupting the country.
A German worker has higher productivity than his equivalent UK worker. They tend to save instead of borrow. They make stuff that the world wants. They have been in a currency union that has artificially made their goods cheaper than they would be had they kept the DM. For the last 50 years they have voted for more fiscally responsible governments than we have. However, they are just as stuffed as we are, maybe more so as that currency union is now falling apart and the Germans are on the hook to pay for it.
