- A special report by BBC Newsnight about the increasing financial hardships facing people in #rural areas, broadcast by BBC2 on 14 June 2022.
The story features some shocking stories of people walking hours to get to food banks.

The lady at the food bank is a charity worker helping people on a daily basis. All the comments about her weight are despicable and has nothing to do with the issue at hand.
Distraction. Everything is about distraction.
.
Anyone is a target just so long as the detour from the real issues takes place.

The homeless.....let's talk about drug addicts and alcoholics.
The unemployed.....let's talk about work shy people who swindle the benefit system.
@@Dylanesque well said.
You are right. We do not even know if she has any health issues.
I agree God Bless her..angels come in all shapes and sizes .
Amen❤
i lived rurally for 20 years. I chose this because I wanted to grow my own food, have a home-based business, keep chickens for eggs and this way we could live on my husband's $40,000 a year income and still own a home. When we first arrived, I was shocked at how few people were actually working. As the years proceeded, I realized that it takes money to work. Money to buy a vehicle, money to insure a vehicle, money for repairs, oil changes and gas. I better began to understand why people there did not hold a 9-5 job. Many instead raised dogs, cut and sold wood, and took seasonal work like picking blueberries, home building, roofing etc. when they could find it. Without an education, without a trade and without seed money for a vehicle, working and keep working is almost impossible when you have to drive an hour or more each way to a job.
Very important insights that help us better understand complex social issues. Thank you.💙🌎💙🌎💙🌎
Does it take money to work? Really? That´s a typical argument of British folks, yes. I´ve lived in Britain for 5 years, worked as a volunteer in market gardens, and farms, in exchange for food. Where there´s a will, there´s a way. British folks tend to whine, and complain, without a sense of one´s own responsibility, of will power, often. I´m Dutch, and while we stand up against injustice, with success, Britain is sinking in a lack of education, of resilience, and of the use of common sense. Sad
@@devonseamoor Yes, it does cost money to work in the rural US. It takes vehicle insurance, a safe working vehicle, vehicle gas to drive the distance to where the jobs are, money for an oil change and suitable clothing. I have a older, divorced female friend whose home was foreclosed on (where she was keeping chickens and growing as much of her veg as she could) and she is NOW living in her old van and even finding a way to shower, or cook her breakfast is a trial in order to look and smell suitable to go to work. She is now living in her van in Florida during in the cold winter months and then driving back to Michigan (where she has contacts and a seasonal job) in order to earn some money in a tourist town. She has to struggle to find a place where she can safely park every single night. It's hard to even have a mailbox to receive mail when living this kind of Gypsie-like life. Apartment rent in my area runs from $1,200 a month for a single bedroom to $,2,400 a month for a two bedroom/ two bathroom apt. For larger families to rent a house costs upwards of $3-4,000 a month. Housing here is almost impossible to find due to the housing shortage.
All of this is a worldwide reality check. No one is untouchable except corporate, the rich, or the government. So, find a government job, marry into a rich family, or become part of a corporate world. That is how you will live in a house and receive great medical, and never have to worry about what you can buy. How sad that all sounded. Why can we just live equally?
a stable wage
I live in Florida, here in the U.S. I've always thought people in Europe were wealthy. Man was I wrong.
Forget the nice photos of tourist destinations. There are some really rough places here, but at least in most countries we still have a real social safety net. Let’s see how long we can afford to keep it..
Growing up in Scotland, I thought the same about USA. We'd watch films from USA, and the teenagers had cars and children owned cupboards full of toys. Everyone seemed to be rich. Britain is first world but most people in it are far from wealthy, and in my part of Scotland there was mass loss of industries from the late seventies through to the nineties. It's only really now that employment seems to be picking up but it's generally low paid retail work. My area is semi-rural and bus transport, although fairly regular is very expensive. There is high unemployment, a drug problem, serious strains on the NHS in this area, and lots of people reliant on benefits and/or foodbanks. I cycle and walk a lot, I couldn't afford a car. The additional problem that young woman who is walking with her children will have is the business of the road.
@@evelynwilson1566 sounds like the rest of the world lol
@Evelyn Wilson: Due to the high density of population, it is economically viable for Europe to provide
public transport to almost every rural town. In Canada (and probably the U.S.), because of the enormous
geography and sparse population outside major centres, a vehicle is a must in rural areas.
@@evelynwilson1566 So Scotland is going through what the U.S. is going through as far as most of your industries being outsourced to other countries.
I live rurally , I can’t afford to use a car , there is two buses a day to my nearest supermarket so A - I can’t get cheap yellow stickers /reductions in the early evening , B- I have to use the local convenience shop where prices are more expensive, my nearest town is 15 miles away . It’s tough living in a rural area really really hard. My foodbank doesn’t deliver plus I am anaphylactic to certain foods so they find it difficult to find the correct food for me because I cannot physically choose my own food , yes it’s nice place to live but far more expensive,and before I get any negative comments , yes I am on benefits but I did work for 22 years until I lost my job and no I don’t have a fancy mobile phone it’s a very old tablet I use and the internet comes from my neighbour !
You have no need to explain to anyone why you're on benefits.
It's there as a safety net, so use it.
There are so many videos on the internet about medicinal plants to help with your condition,. With a little time you could learn to grow what you need to get good nutrition. Even in containers in small spaces . Good luck to you.
@Fisherlewis. At least, you´ve not lost your wit and spunk, in your comment. I wonder if there´s a solution for you to rent out a room in your home, so that you can enjoy some extra income. Even make arrangements to invite someone in your home who also could help with shopping and cooking, maybe, or gardening
It might be smart to not inform those who pay your income, your benefits, otherwise it´s cut due to having a lodger. We need to be smart, at times.
The website for those who offer a room, or look for a room, is Spareroom.
I´ve lived for 5 years in Britain, as a Dutchie, renting rooms in private homes, sharing with housemates or landlords as well. For me, it was an excellent solution, for I can´t afford renting an entire home, you see? Right now, it´s very difficult to rent for a reasonable price, in Britain. I´ve got my eyes on Ireland now.
I´ve known many elderly, living rural, worried about the decline in bus service, etc.
They need to have people volunteer to have a car full of people, and then they altogether pay for the gas
I live in a rural area, its not just fuel in our cars thats worrying, its also heating, there's no gas in my village, I only have a coal fire with a back boiler for my heating, the price of coal has gone up from £15 a sack to £36 since winter. I'm going to be cold this winter. And from next year coal is going to be banned completely. I'll have to use oil filled radiators and live in one room as they're so expensive. I bet the politicians won't be worrying about keeping warm this winter. 🥶
While it´s hard for many of you, in Britain, I wonder if a woodstove would be a solution, instead of oil filled radiators? Ignore the climate change fairy tale, try to stay warm with a woodstove, at best with a flat surface so that you can cook on it. Even when you place the woodstove outside on the porch, or in the garden, you can lower the costs, especially now that springtime arrives.
When you look at the nuclear plants in Britain, burning on coal, and watch the enormous smoke billowing from them, you´ve got the right to ignore the warnings about the use of woodstoves. There´s nothing wrong with it. Don´t despair, okay?
Wasnt it a good idea to close our coal mines so we could by cheap foreign coal thanks torys
Luckily I live in London, the rent is a killer and food fuel gas is sky high. I rather get out my door and have a corner shop there than walk for miles for a shop.
in american, it it illegal to build anything but single storey detatched houses with massive gardens. imagine the sheer insanity
So you prefer the city then
@@nygardenguru for convenience yes, I do love the village country life when I go back home for a vacation
@@acasccseea4434 What??!?!
I couldn’t think of anywhere worse to live than London tbf
I am a dual national of the UK and the USA and i have lived for extended periods in both countries. The standard of living is much higher in the USA.
Wages, pensions, in the UK are much less. Also, food, housing, and living expenses are much higher in the UK.
High rent prices are the main reason for poverty. The cost of living crisis is just the housing affordability crisis.
Politicians won't mention this beacause most of them are landlords.
Disagree rent prices have nothing to do with poverty so your saying these people are renting from private landlords?
What's your biggest monthly exspense?
And to answer your question, it depends. Some people have little choice but to rent from private landlords at exstortiate prices. Social housing in the uk favours the elderly, and even they pay inflated rent prices, and not everyone can claim enough housing benefits.
@@rayclam8079 I'm very luck worked hard 12 to 14 hours days 7 days a week and have now retired 4 yrs ago at 52.really feel for everyone in times of uncertainty,bit boring as i'm so use to working so help out at unpaid charity work a few days a week.
Stop making bad comments about the lady running the food bank .angels come in all shapes and sizes. Be kind
And our rural corner shop / convenience store ,,,,the prices are 30/50% more in everyday items like bread milk eggs , but we are a captive audience :(
Bake your own bread? Keep some chickens? Cow's milk is bad for humans, Let that go.
Haha brilliant freeze -frame for the video caption!
I walk 2 miles to the store and back to the grocery store with my baby and stroller. It depends on other factors of course like walk-ability of the route and if you need to carry heavy or bulky groceries bc a stroller, even a generously sized all terrain jogging model, has limited room and the weight will impact the ability to push the thing uphill. But yeah, it's very rough when you have no other choice due to financial limitations.
@Helen Howard, I don´t ignore your situation, and I expect that when the stroller is cleverly filled to the most, that you won´t have to do this on a daily basis. What about African women walking 10 miles for water and food, carrying heavy weights on their heads and backs? Children walking with jerry cans to the wells?
This is a cruel response. Her situation IS hard, and comparing it to someone else's situation isn't lessening her burden.
Free food for a walk is reasonable even with children. Disabled or aged is a different story.
Riddings is a really nice place and there are load of industrial estates nearby desperate for workers...It is not rural...
It's the cost of the car and insurance. Crazy high , more than the fuel cost for me
I thought isolation was one of the perks of living in a rural area
What do you mean?
It is! @lindaajide
Isolation is by no means a perk.
Isolation if that’s what you desire is wonderful especially in rural area but isolation cause you cannot afford company can be soul destroying.
The issue is that "isolation" means to people having a big yard that is just for you. The result is a large urban sprawl where you have to drive everywhere; It is bad decision both environmentally and economically.
she spends 5 pounds a week, damn tell me where u can spend 5 pounds a week on groceries i would love to be able to do that here. I live in Copenhagen and in a day just to buy stuff to prepare for dinner cost about 12-15 pounds a day here where i live, it's shockingly expensive then again denmark is more expensive than the uk but still for a days worth of groceries is quite crazy
In the United States I'm on a food voucher called EBT SNAP card program & I get $110/month if I don't count the pandemic subsidy of an extra $140/month EBT & I'm on a disability allowance called SSI of an amount of $841/month. Is it true disabled people live better in Denmark?
The reporter said it’s her weekly shopping at food pantry, she was precise that it’s e.g just milk or bread for the whole week. Media being accurate at reporting at their finest.
anyone else check their pc at 5:07?
Get a push bike with a carrier on the front and a carrier on the back , that’s the way it was done in the sixties. Plus the free exercise, get a neighbour to mind the kids , and learn to help your neighbour in return .
That is a good idea. Two problems though : 1/ those bikes are generally a bit heavy and unless you are a really sporty person and/or your neighborhood is flat, you will have a difficult time or you will need an electric assist bike 2/ those bikes can be pricey (not even speaking about the electric ones). One of my colleagues has one to transport her 4 young children (so it has a strong wooden carrier) and because it's a bit hilly around (and wood is heavy), she has an electric assist, it cost her more than a 1 000 €. Not easy for everybody to pay.
April has four children and a haircut that would exclude her from any meaningful employment..... is her husband able to look presentable enough for a job? I didn't hear anything about him.....
all these bad situations are mostly self inflicted. If I had 4 kids I'd be homeless by now..!
Exactly!!! Her problems didn't started a couple of months ago with inflation... I bet she was struggling a lot before and always has, the main reason being that she has 4 CHILDREN!!! Yeah Cry me a river.. *eyes roll* she did this to herself.
That’s not really rural
4 kids ???
This is so sad when the monarchy has soooooo much
Houses and more cars than they will ever need or use for the good of mankind
One day we will all be accountable for all we have and how we have chosen to use it
did perverted, dirty Andrew get tax payers' money to pay off that woman?
This winter is going to get really tough for poor people. There's still time, though, to learn about container gardening and get some cabbages, turnips, carrots, and collards planted. People will have to carpool to the foodbanks and jobs. Foodbanks should begin handing out seeds with instructions on planting and growing food. There are tons of videos on RUclips about wild foraging. So many "weeds" are edible. Poor people are resilient as hell.
It would be nice if some people in the community would volunteer to drive a few people from the food bank home. If they were my neighbors I would. We are lucky though our buses are much cheaper like 35 cents one way with free transfers.
there are no bus services where we live in the uk.
I was shocked by the horrible public transportation service in the UK, especially in the north.
It does take forever and is on top of that pretty expensive. No idea how people cope with it.
Volunteer to drive people to food banks all day, who's that? Most of us have jobs to go to!
What do the 22,500 BBC employees who average over £40,000 salary know about poverty?
Think you’re better off targeting your comment to the government lol. What’s the BBC got to do with anything. If they average a decent annual wage that’s what we should all be aspiring to and petitioning the government about not hating on any decently paid employees.
We lived in a small village in East Anglia. My Nan used to walk miles to work. Me and my Mum used to cycle for miles to school. Get out of your cars! It's really not that difficult.
My transmission broke down... I walk 4 miles each way to work
Normally I would agree, as I walk and cycle everywhere and live in a semi-rural area. However if the road is very busy, with lots of cars doing 60mph (or let's face it, much more than that), it would be extremely difficult and even dangerous to walk along it with young chidren and a pushchair. Different if the road has a footpath, or it's a quiet lane. Where I live some folk drive on the out of town roads like they're at Brands Hatch, even cycling on them feels dodgy at times, although I persist. We're very lucky to have a good cycle and footpath network in my area. When I was a child we lived right on the edge of our town, a mile and a half from the centre, and my Mum and us kids would visit the supermarket two or three times a week in school holidays, and carry the shopping home on foot, so I do agree with what you're saying but I think in her circumstances it would be very difficult. It's very difficult to get a pushchair up a steep verge or into a ditch to allow a speeding car to pass.
Did you even watch the video?
@@bdh711 Yup. What's your point?
Do you walk now?.... on busy roads with reckless, speeding motorists?
In America rural areas have always been difficult for good incomes due to the lack of decent jobs. This goes back nearly 100 years ago and tens of millions of people fled the rural life for city life which provided good jobs, schools etc...Now rural America does not have adequate medical facilities due to lack of people having medical insurance or just the high costs. Many medical facilities have closed. I wish our government would quit being the "world policeman" and spend our treasure and attention to enhancing rural areas.
Rural Britain is starving, but millions and millions were wasted on the coronation of a symbolic King.
A mile and a half is not far. Could the partner not mind the children or let him go for the food.
The partner may well be working full time. Wages are now not covering bills. I am actually very careful with gas and electric and a few days ago I had an estimated bill for the electric of £501.76 for 57 days usage, thankfully, I have taken a picture of the meter and the utility company have agreed to reduce it. As an aside I asked them how they had arrived at that figure and they said that it was average usage per household across their whole network.
They have estimated my electric costs for next year at £3686 and gas at £1263. Nearly £5,000 for the year. I hope they have that figure wrong too. I only live in a small 3 bedroom house, the central heating is gas, it has double glazing with loft and cavity wall insulation. I try not to use what I absolutely don't need to use. So, I only heat the living room and bathroom unless it snows. One bath a week, with the shower just used to wash off hair and I leave it a few months before hoovering. If they are estimating such a big bill and I am careful, what about people that are not so careful?
@@banana9106 yes I agree with all you say. Electricity etc has gone through the roof. But on all of the programmes people are smoking, drinking etc. Maybe they should use the money more wisely. And don’t tell me they are addicted etc. at some stage we must be responsible and not expect everyone to carry them because of their choices. Sure, some people have it really really tough, but in a lot of cases it’s just take what you can get, and never give anything back.
@@margaretneville4983 Personally, I don't smoke or have the latest 'phone. I only drink occasionally, so I am not down the pub on a regular basis. And I don't have Sky TV or anything like that. I pretty much have no choice about having internet. I agree that a lot of the people that you see on these programmes are unable to prioritise their needs over their wants.
I no longer work as my son is disabled. But when I did work, it used to amaze me that I had a manager who was continually in debt to the tune of £5,000 to £6,000. This was someone that was earning an awful lot more than me, yet she was unable to manage to stay out of debt. This was back in 2005 and she was spending £90-£120 at the hairdressers on a monthly basis. She was the first person to buy a mobile phone with a polyphonic ringtone. It never ceased to amaze me that the company that I worked for thought that someone who could not manage their own bank account was suitable for managing a department.
On the departmental Christmas night out she was supposed to settle the bill with a personal credit card and then reclaim the expenses from the company. Only her credit card was maxxed out. So she asked me to settle the bill. Well, since she had dicked me around with paying my time and petrol for callouts, I had no intention of settling the bill, so I simply said that I did not have a credit card on me and proffered the cash for my share of the bill plus tip. She had a bitchy little side kick who was also being nepotistically promoted, who very nicely tried to embarrass me by saying that a credit card company would not give a card to someone like me, because apparently I couldn't afford anything. I knew the two rented and that from the way they spent, they had little chance of owning. So I simply said that given that I had collateral in the form of owning my own house, having a credit would not be a problem, but I am simply not a fan of paying fees and interest when I can simply bypass that by saving for what I want. The faces on the 2 of them were an absolute picture.
@@margaretneville4983 these programmes are not necessarily representative though, they are doing everything they can to make their subjects look bad. If someone smoked one cigarette a day they'd show that clip several times. I'm not a smoker, and I don't condone it but many tv programmes go out of their way to make their subjects look bad and blame them for low wages and high unemployment. It's horrible really.
poverty is a social condition not always the fault of others
Cant hear the documentary due to stupid background noise
Shame on Boris. He did nothing
Conservative Britain.
.
Wrecked beyond all recognition.
Car use to be a luxuary few people owned on in any village. Walked every where when young could not afford even a bus. Food was a pan of stew daily never no options occasionally seagulls eggs collected from nests on cliffs. You eat it or went hungry. Heating was collecting sea coal & driftwood off beaches in sacks and pushing it miles in hand barrows to heat our homes on open fires. Poverty teaches us all who are our freinds and enemy's. A great, teaching lesson in life for the future is having a long time of been skint.

The poor in England ,and the poor in the US, have parallel problems. Too dependent on the government
It won't be long before only the rich can afford cars, I've already swapped my car for a bike.
We've become reliant on cars! 1.5 miles is a stroll, they talk about it as if she's walking it barefoot.
But small children are involved

And I hope you're all satisfied .

Time that the huge corporations that make massive profits of petrol sales donated petrol to these non-for-profits. Shell, BP, Exxon and other petrol chemical firms need to share the wealth amongst everybody who needs…not just their wealthy shareholders.
What a horrid world we live in.

Poor people live in towns not the country
Don´t forget, all British people over 60 can travel by bus for free. Isn´t that a good service? And Jamie Tucker, when you´re wise, raise your wage due to costs of fuel, it´s normal logic, see?
Pity the police bill for the 'Just Stop Oil' idiots couldn't be better spent here to help this foodbank.
Is it possible to have an economic system without inflation? Eliminating inflation requires significant changes to the current economic system. One possible solution is to adopt a fixed exchange rate system, where the value of a currency is pegged to another stable currency or commodity.
I live rural and they're aren't buses or subways in my area. I would have to taxi or uber. No money for that. It's ridiculous.
People need to start prepping like they do in the USA. We've got to help ourselves. A couple of items a week would soon build up a stockpile. The lady at the food bank is kind, don't mock her!
You're wonderful society is collapsing .

There's always been poverty and unemployment. Before we had benefits we had the Poor Law, and workhouses. What we are going back to now is people having to rely on to charities to help them when in need. One of the foodbanks in my area is effectively running a very low cost shop and doing deliveries, so those not eligible for the free food can still get it cheaply and have it delivered throughout our county. This seems like a pretty good idea to me. They're getting income and also helping people so they don#t have to claim the free food.
cut VAT on fuel because any fuel Duty cut is going to be out stripped by the VAT
Just one of the many issues in a country driven into the Ground by incompetent governments in the past 40 years
I left the UK 30 years ago ..I could see all this happening..but not this bad

My thoughts exactly!!!
The middle class should help more the poor instead of the rich get richer
So what do all think about your QUEEN, Did she help you.
Where are their children? Did they not have them?
Probably in school.
stable wages. poverty is nothing but a condition of unfair people
It OK London sends money to help them so they can live their nice rural lives.... While we all struggle down here shoved in like pigs... So forgive me if all I hear is boohoo from people who have good lives comparatively.

Biodiesel started to be available in the 1990s, but then the government put a high tax on it to make it the same price as other fuels, and biodiesel stopped being sold. Most people don't have the knowledge or equipment to make their own.
@@amandahunter4034 u.k legislation allows each person to produce and use 6000ltrs a year firpersonal use.. You are right about the taxes etc.
Just once?

Hello, I don't quite understand your question but when one has lived a privileged life ............
@Night Owl Hey Night Owl - don't forget the cucumber sarnies with the crusts cut off ! 🤣
come on 1.5 miles is nothing that's about 20-30 minute walk depending on how fast u are. Just over a year ago i once walked from my dentist (took me 40-45 minutes) to the central station just so i could put more money on my travel card as i didn't have enough to get on the bus to get to the station and i didn't want to get a fine which would cost me a whole lot more, so quit whining about walking. It's good for u and healthy, i cycle more than 3 kilometers a day and yes i don't have a car but i do what i can on a day to day basis to get by and so should everyone else. At least here in the eu we have it a lot better than most countries, i lived in jakarta for 10 years before moving to Copenhagen 6 years ago, i know they have it 10x worse than us so be grateful u have places to walk, in indonesia they barely have anything.
Where is the 350m a week?😂 It ain’t coming is it LOL # Brexthick. P.s Brexthickland just paid another 10 billion in severance to the EU 🤣🤣🤣
The further west you go in England the prettier/fitter the women get. I think the air gets fresher and the food gets more traditional. Something to do with that!!!
Incel vibes
Not the best spokeswoman for the food bank, to talk about the difficulties of getting to the food pantry.
that's normal. this is what europe exported to the african continent. looks familiar. global poverty.
I see alot of reporting about the poor... but nothing much being done
Most of ya all still to lazy and wealthy to get a bicycle and some gloves like ive done most of my working life
But we can send 4.3 billion to Ukraine
