DISINFO: UK propaganda hushes up problems: two million children starve in Britain

SUMMARY

They [UK] have a huge propaganda machine that is hushing up the problems: how two million children, according to official statistics, were starving in August in the UK.

RESPONSE

No evidence given. The so called holiday hunger was extensively covered in the UK media. See eg. The Guardian, BBC and The Independent. Hunger still does not equate to starvation.
