You are entitled to suspect anything you wish, but it doesn't work like that, food banks aren't like shops available to everyone, there has to be an identified need and then vouchers are issued to be exchanged for essential supplies.

You do know you have to be referred by someone like the JobCentre plus, Social Services, a Doctor and such like and in most cases provide evidence like your bank statement to get your food? Even then its for 3 days supply and you only get to go 3 times and then you can no longer be referred. So in fact you get 9 days worth of food out of 365. I suspect not many people do or can abuse them. If it wasn't for this government sanctioning a record number of claiments or delaying benefits (PiP is at 40 weeks delay atm) then there wouldn't be so many people needing to use food banks.

It's either the worst troll account on a forum polluted by William Eve or he really believes the drivel he posts.

If it's the second, I can't imagine how he sleeps at night.

I read in the Times recently that Labour didn't allow Job Centres to refer people to food banks for fear of negative press.

Terrible hey?

France is doing well isn't it.

Socialism in action.



As I said, if something becomes free that people previously had to pay for then people will take advantage.

So you agree then that people using food banks has dramatically risen under this government?? Tbh I don't give two hoots what Labour did 4 years ago. Its whats happening NOW under this government that counts.

Yeah shocking what people will do for a few packets of pasta in sauce, toilet roll and a tin of beans :/

One really weak example out of 200.
Rah, rah, rah...



I know you said it, the words in quotes are yours. The mistake you make is to assume that just because you say something it makes any sense.

It's going to take more than £1 to raise your clue level to anywhere near the average.

But I thought 'all major economies had left us trailing in their wake'

France - the world's fifth largest economy.

Take a look at other European economies and see that you are wrong.



Of course it makes sense. People like free things.

Of course they do when they prove with bank statements and official referals that they need it. Why do you chose to ignore the facts of how you actually get your 3 days worth of food? I know you're not thick, that just leaves the definition of a troll.

Do you actually think about what you write or do you just bash the keyboard with your forehead?



I did. I'm not.



There's an echo in here...

You must be in a generous mood tonight.



I don't think we should rule out both options yet...
