Foodbanks

Post by caveman »

It is 2016 in the UK and we have people who have no choice and need to go to one.

It is a disgrace

We also have people who make the choice to go to them

I've seen them sitting outside foodbanks waiting for them to open, smoking fags while their kids are stuffing their faces with sweets.

I think they are a great resource for people who have fallen through the cracks and are in need of immediate help, but if you're prioritising fags over food, then I dare say there's a lot of other things benefit money is being spent on that it shouldn't be.

Some people I've heard about taking advantage of food banks and they are on good money. So I bet there's some fraud going on.

I expect that does go on.

However I do know that they are also used by people who are in real need of them.... and because of that I still donate each week.

It's the same problem all over. You need to separate the responsible and those genuinely in need from the fucking parasites.

Indeed Zambo indeed.

We pay a lot in taxes and there is no way that people should be forced into a position where they need to go to one.

We also have people who CHOOSE not to work and spend their benefits on fags and White cider whilst scamming the basics from food banks.

Fambly man, my fucking hairy white arse!
Remember him and Chicken going 10,000 odd miles to Perth to cover the Ashes test there and in spite of Pishtank being within 2 or 3 miles from where his long Perth domiciled brother Dennis lived, he couldn't be fucking arsed to drag his fucking carcass out of the fucking casino place he was drinking in to go and see his only sibling the whole time he was there?
Though he said he sent Jill instead. So that was all right then.
Mind you, I believe his brother is teetotal, so maybe that was the way Dennis liked it.

:lol: I was talking about Potts. You'd need heavy lifting industrial machines, astronomical insurance premiums and prohibitive regulatory legislation to get pishtank as far as Dover or Harwich.

Question: Can you give pet food to a food bank? I mean, for people struggling who need to feed their pets? Genuine question.
Fred Kite: I've got to be off. I can't stay here arguing. I've got a lot to do. Report to the Executive, check up on the pickets.
Mrs. Kite: From what I can see, the only time you ever jolly well *do* any work is when you're on strike.
