    Due to the Brexit miscalculation, I'm afraid many, many more people will be forced to use food banks in the coming years.
    Hard Brexit now!

          Right conclusion, wrong reason. Inequality increasing. Brexit will just be an excuse.

Otherwise we have gone backwards to a Victorian society where we have the deserving and under deserving poor.
            unfortunately according to the experts its the state in 50% of the cases putting these people on benefit sanctions that sees them at Foodbank. I think its a great way to provide a net where the state muck up.

            Remember most of the foodbanks require a referral from a professional (health professional, Social worker, CAB) and limit the number of times you can go there.

            3 times @ 3 days each so its not like popping down to Tesco (who by the way are very generous to the foodbanks)

              Quite a few people donate them and generally the thought is love em.I was told they were popular in the warehouse for making up kits. Not suitable for the homeless etc (it has to be something the all night cafes can add boiling water to). But what can be better than a cup of tea and a nice pud with the kids?

                      The Princes Trust plus retailers like Timpson (bless the guy's dead wife) and Sainsburys help those with criminal convictions by giving them jobs, so the ones who see sense don't continuously feck us up.
