DURING December an infographic illustrating the increase in foodbanks across the local authorities of England, Scotland, and Wales between 2009 and 2013 did the rounds on Scottish Twitter. For all intents and purposes it looked like an election comparison map showing a massive landslide victory for hunger, with the 2013 map completely transformed in colour with the proliferation of voluntary associations feeding the destitute. In London alone, the Trussell Trust provided 49,969 three-day emergency food supplies over just six months last year – over 400 more than it did the year before.
