Ms Macbeth   73 #50 Posted May 23, 2017 For anyone that did not see it. This nurse earns £22k and still needs to use a food bank.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-39997155  It's stated she's single, and nowhere is it suggested she has dependents. Perhaps her housing costs are disproportionately high, she's repaying debt, or she's spending unwisely.  I think it's easy to understand the need for foodbanks for households who are having problems with benefits; where someone loses employment suddenly; for those on basic levels of benefits, especially under 25s. But without knowing how her outgoings are broken down, it's impossible to speculate what she's actually living on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
