Scientists call to arms

[bigpaul]

I know we have more money than say 50 years ago but look at what everything costs these days, i continually hear people moaning that the cost of food seems to go up every week and not just a few pence, and thats not including the cost of housing, 40 years ago i bought a house for £3,800 now an ordinary house on this estate would cost £140-£160,000 and renting isnt much better, private rent is about £500PCM and thats in a low wage rural small town, so are we really any better off?? sure people might have money coming in, but its going out just as fast! and 40 years ago we didnt NEED food banks either!!
