Sad that this is happening in the UK. Unbelievable really. But This is what happens when people buy their cheap crap from China and the like. Do people really think its this tory government that is solely responsible for food banks in the uk ?
There is no industry here anymore to keep people in jobs, most of it is farmed out to Asia. No jobs, no money, no money no food poor areas get poorer. Its not rocket science.
Bring as much industry as poss back here and things would change. But, Noooooo, people want to pay sweet FA for badly made crap so things wont change.
From what I saw in my career, I would say that poor strategic thinking from Boards of Directors, incompetent middle management, asset stripping by 'investors', and short-term profit pressure from shareholders are all significant factors too. But yes, people are too prepared to buy crap without questioning where and how it was produced.
