A brief postscript to yesterday's observations on the moral panic over a police force providing foodbank vouchers to people caught shop-lifting due to hunger. That story made the main evening news programmes; this one, as far as I've seen so far, hasn't done.

In summary, it's a damning account from a voluntary organisation in Hull, concerned for the welfare of street sex workers, that women are turning to prostitution to feed themselves and their children specifically due to benefit sanctions and cuts to their income arising from 'welfare reform'.
There should be anger and outrage at this. It should be headline news and a resigning matter for those ministers responsible for the regime that leaves anyone so desperate.
Instead, the silence is deafening.
