1. Sky TV subscriptions are for a year - if they are to thick to understand how to budget then if they took the subscription out they are stuck with it.
2. Lots of people don't smoke and if they do get their cigarettes of the back of a lorry.
3. Lots of people only drink their friends' or parents alcohol so don't actually buy it. Some of the single mothers I use to know use to get alcohol given to them. The couple of single men I know who were alcoholics didn't really bother about eating so wouldn't be the type to go to a food bank.
4. If you are in the middle of no where how are you suppose to get to your job? In London and larger cities lots of people whether working or not don't have cars as they can get around on buses but not if you are rural.

I think we should make it legal for poor people who are thin to steal food from people who are clinically obese.
It would solve 2 problems at once and the Bible kind of suggests it is allowed so morally it works for me.Comment

1. Anyone in the UK who does not pay off their credit card monthly cannot budget. Fact. I bet there's millions of people with unmanageable debt because they never cared to budget in the first place.
2. That true. Lots of people don't smoke.
3. Don't buy it. 'gifted alcohol', that's scrapping the barrel. When your luck is down there's always a penny or two to buy a pint.
4. I don't own a car. I use public transport. There's no excuse to own a car at the same time your using a food bank."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
