Not all that surprising, sadly.

Huh, I wondered where the local ones had gone.

That's low, even by "charity" scammer standards.

The clothes bank at Tesco in Upper Edmonton was something I drove past every day on my way home from work,
there was a short cut through their car park to get you on the A406 one set of lights later missing out a perma-queue
in the process. Saved about 5 mins. The clothesbank was away from the store next to the fenced off, drive in sized
recycling centre and I'd see Romanians doing exactly that on a regular basis. Putting little grubby looking dark haired
kids right into the hopper through the flap and filling shopping trolleys with what they passed out. You get £5 per 10 kilos
for mixed clothes at my local place here in Bristol apparently. So there's some money in it if you do it on an industrial
scale, and of course weighing in the stainless steel the shopping trolleys are made of too after a quick chop chop
with a grinder. You can fit a lot of chopped up trolley parts into a Sprinter. Wink Just saying.

Because the ultimate aim of the establishment anti-progressive forces is to take us back to that era. Ive said it before, the Tories have always resented the modern world and their entire reason for existence is to take the country back to a state where s tiny elite own almost everything, a servile technical and administrative class look after all the boring work and then the larger majority of people exist just to serve as slaves/serfs etc.

You just have to see where you fit in.

We could do better though. Of course if you try and suggest that then you're obviously an anti-semite.

They're making a right feck up of raising the tax threshold then as most lower end workers now pay less tax that they take from the state, putting more strain on those who do pay tax.

In Victorian times, there was no dole scum, you had to work for your dry crust.


Google Cloward-Piven strategy. There are pictures of both alongside Bill Clinton. They were highly influential in their thinking.

As to Mr Pigeon's thoughts, you're not talking of a Tory strategy, it's a neo-liberal globalist strategy of a world serfdom. The Conservatives aren't trying to conserve anything. The movers and shakers there are just as keen to flush their own country, it's culture and people down the toilet as all the other neo-liberal globalist parties painted in other colours. They're just making sure they and their backers get their share of the trough. There might be some genuine conservatives of various stripes at low levels, but you don't get put in positions of influence unless you have the right attitude to follow the same common purpose.
