Emergency food Aid with The charity “First Base Agency interview

The simon Laurie king Podcast

Coming up on today’s show,

During this last eighteen months we all have come to know what the term lockdown means ,

And I remember the first one clearly,

During those early days panic uncertainty and the emphasis on complete adherence were common place ,

My point?

During that first lockdown

A government minister showed his humanity by breaking those edicts and visiting his elderly parents !

Shouts of hypocrite resounded from all levels of society

There were calls for his resignation,

There was outrage and much fist banging by those who had set these rules,

as well as many talk show hosts joining the potential witch burning salivating at the mouth in anticipation and hope for what was to come ,

Paparazzi and news reporters swarmed and hounded this individual and sadly it reach its crescendo .

But let me ask you this where were the paparazzi and news crews at the thousands yes I said thousands of food banks in this country which have provided through out these troubled times and continue to provide much needed help to those who are desperate

Where is the outrage and awkward question,

And more importantly where are the answers.

I’m assuming this subject is not sexy or glamorous enough,

It’s not a ‘

air quotes’ celebrity

Or a footballer nor is it a popular music icon ,

No it certainly isn’t

It’s the dirty washing that’s left for others to pick up .

The need for Emergency food aid in western countries make no mistake is on the rise ,

Here in Britain there are hundreds of charity’s and organisations if not thousands providing the difference between eating or going hungry ,

And this spans all ages of people,

Single or with a family.

I cannot possibly mention all of those good people and organisations that provide this much needed relief on the show here today,

But on today’s show I’m joined by a locally based food aid charity called the first based Agency,

it’s director joins us today to talk about the charity’s work locally as well as the deeply concerning outlook in the very near future regarding emergency food aid ,and the general availability of food for all of us across Britain ,
