Can't argue with that. We are where we are though as a society, and if the kids aren't housed and fed within their family environment there is only one logical solution... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

What incentive is there for the second, third and forth generation of scrotes to work and pay tax when Ma and Pa lived quite comfortably without lifting a finger?
It’s the age old argument. The liberal left will make out people on benefits need food banks and are starving. Those of us in the real world see people who live off the state quite comfortably.
Food banks are about people’s lack of ability to prioritise, nothing more, nothing less, although of course the lefties will disagree. If you’re driving to a food bank in a leased car, in designer clothes clutching a thousand pound IPhone, you are a moron, not a victim of poverty. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

What is your personal experience of people who visit foodbanks? I agree that if you drive to a foodbank in a car you pay for, in designer clothes with a 1k iPhone then your priorities are wrong, however you are doing exactly what you are programmed to do by making this statement - demonise everybody who visits them irrespective of their circumstances. Surely you realise this?

The same as you, but of course as usual, you're right and everyone else is wrong. How much in value do you think people walk out with in tins of beans and dried pasta? £5? £10? How much did it cost them to drive there? It's just more of this fascination of the left to create victims where non exist, in an attempt to pretend the Tories are the party of the rich. In reality, the poor who bother to work are far better off than they have been for a long, long time, with increases in wages, income credit and raising of tax thresholds.
We've done this argument to death on here. Food is incredibly cheap in this country. I live off around £25 a week on all supermarket shopping and I hardly skimp it, I just make a lot of things from scratch.
Most portions can be made for under £1 a meal from a roast chicken dinner to lasagne. I've already shown this including links to all the ingredients. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

Most food banks I know of are ran by local people and the food is donated by companys and not by the government. I fail to see what's worth complaining about in all honesty.
Why don't you try volunteering in one, then you'll have the full story on the kinds of people that use the service. Thats not meant to be sarcastic
There's one round the corner from me but I don't see many people coming and going, and those that do seem to get quite a bit judging by the straining bags.
I think you have to be in receipt of benefits to take advantage of it - not entirely sure though. |

I am genuinely confused here. Are you telling me that nobody is poor in this country, and that everybody who uses a foodbank does so because they choose to spend money on cars instead? Even you must realise that this isn't the case.
If you argued that some people spend money on booze and fags rather than food, your view would make some sense. However, this isn't the case for everybody who needs help. My sister and brother in law volunteer at a food bank in West Yorkshire not too far from your ancestral home, and tell me that there are two types of people who visit regularly:
1. People who can't manage their own lives through alcohol or drug-related mental health issues.
2. People who do work, but the wage isn't enough to live on. These people typically have kids, and have to choose between essentials like rent, school-shoes, gas, electricity and eating.
I'm made up for you about your weekly shopping bill and your ability to make a chicken dinner for £1. ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

Both sides attacked charities but for different reasons. The Left attack the fact that they exist and blame the Government, whereas the Right attack the fact that they exist and blame the undeserving poor. It is the centre of British politics (Libtards as MDMA loves to describe them...) that realise the reality of the situation and that they are a necessary 'evil' in a post industrial society where many members of the working population can no longer earn enough to survive. ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

Not by the real definition, no. Not being able to afford the poshest brand of Tampex is not poor. Living in parts of the third world is poor.
Diggs wrote: | and that everybody who uses a foodbank does so because they choose to spend money on cars instead? |
Remember the part where I said food was incredibly cheap in this country? I stand by that. Nobody is that poor that they couldn't get food from somewhere in this country, even without food banks. If someone needs to drive to collect a few free tins of beans and a bag of pasta, there is something seriously wrong with their spending priorities.

That's rich with your myopic view of reality.

There we go again, you see yourself and your own views as central and correct and everyone else to either side of you is wrong.
If you see the Lib Dems and Greens as the centre of politics, you really do live in an imaginary reality. |

I dunno, benefits...
I don't know how people get them these days. I get single person's reduction on council tax and that's it. I'm trying to live on little more than £400 a month, Armed Forces disability pension. Struggling to find work I can do due to injury and illness, but there's no one to even help. The Job Centre basically just gave me the brush-off. I want to work, and I think I could if I could find something flexible enough. Nothing much up here though.
If only the government were serious about helping people back into work. If only they were serious about trying to boost the jobs market here in the north for that matter.
Volunteering at a food bank - that's an idea as it goes. Doesn't solve my dire financial difficulties, but you never know what it might lead to. If it only gets me out of my isolation it'd be something I suppose. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
