a 'soros migrant'?? fucking hell....

 

[Teaboy]

What's a soros migrant?

I am fully aware the answer is going to be far right unpleasantness.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Don't forget to put your clocks forward tonight.

4 months should do it.

I've seen a few of these photos and I call bullshit, all of that stuff looks absolutely fine and anyone throwing it out is either a) an idiot or b) wanting to take photos of it to make some sort of point.

I don't know how accurate this is of course, but I have read that lots of bin photos were taken around university campuses that were shut down/students left suddenly - so either the students or the cleaners/landlords just emptied their fridges.

It's the spuds that gives it away - bread? possibly out of date. Potatoes, though?

My daughter brought her entire stocks of everything home, inc. bog roll

(oh, ok, she has a car. it wouldn't have worked by train or bus)

All the veg looks better than what is in my local shops most of the time

The other thing is that a lot of restaurants had perishable stock left over when the lockdown hit - staff were in a lot of places allowed to take some home, but a lot of stock still got thrown away in a bit of a hurry

There were a lot who gave their unused stock to foodbanks/soup kitchens though. Or sold it at the door.

Yes I am aware of a lot that were able to donate items

Daughter 'made' me got to drive-thru macs for breakfast on their last opening day. Sat in the car in the queue only to be told that it was 'main menu' only - no breakfast... Assumed they were using up certain stuffs to consolidate profits, or something..

Those bananas look positively green come to think of it.

Possibly the "students clearing off home in a hurry" thing is an explanation, but I like to think that even if she did have to get the train back, my daughter and her mates would have taken the trouble to get food to a food bank/night shelter. Kids these days are fairly clued up and ethical.

But as Epona said, it's bullshit.

Sorry, all the supermarkets are out of fava beans. All beans, in fact.
