..... let's create CiggieBanks instead - then the money they save could go on food!

Or how about a BoozeBank - same would apply.

Maybe free tacky Tattoo's so that they could buy food for their 16 kids instead?

Just a thought .... as this bleating about food banks does my fecking head in!!

RA Dunk

Good point, no money for food but plenty of money for ****, booze, naff tatoos, the latest flat screen TV and iphone though.

Peoples priorities are all wrong.

If we end food banks how can I eat? I usually roll to the end of the street in my Impreza then walk to the foodbank and fill my bags, its actually far cheaper than Aldi

pslewis

The priest this morning preached on and on and on about the food poverty, and the country doesn't support them ............. not one mention about the 40 **** a day at £16!!! Not a mention about the booze at £3 a pint!!! Not a mention about the tramp stamps and neck tattoo's which shout 'retard attached'!!!!

They can go **** off!!

That's a terrible idea as I heard in some parts of the country your more likely to see an adult drunk than actually doing a days work!


I'm pretty sure this is based on the house of commons?

Can't they just put impotency drugs into cigs and alochol?

If they could do cross checks on Sky/Virgin subscriptions as well a smartphone contracts, then I think budget for the Iceland*/Farmfoods shop would improve.


(*nowt wrong with Iceland's frozen nibbles, just not for tea every night of the week.)

At least two of the four things on your list are likely to be stolen goods.

The country has gone bonkers ...... it's the do-goodies which make me sick .... do these really believe that the tattoo'd chavs waiting for their free food while smoking and stinking of a can of Export need handouts?

I don't think all of those who use foodbanks and cant afford food are in that position because they spend all their cash on **** and Booze.

I do think benefits should be done so they aren't cash and can only be spent on food, clothes and other essentials.

Why not withdraw benefits and do everything on vouchers - no money given out at all.

You could do gas, leccy, water, rent, clothing coupons etc etc etc.

No need for money and no bank accounts to pay the Sky/Contract iPhone (which are probably on the knock anyway).

Left wing, tree huggy, duffle coat wearing do gooders would cry for human rights, but the basic needs are covered.

Easy

lol Tony!!

You forgot to include a full sky package

Can't we end ps lewis, so much cheaper.

pslewis

Problem with food vouchers is that the idiots would sell them to buy **** and booze!

There really is no hope for these people ..... some are in real need, it's splitting up the chavs from the genuine cases which should be the focus of the do-googers .....

SRSport

Drugs is one of the main problems. A large number of people who drain the countries resources use benefit money to buy drugs. There are many people who prefer begging for food/money for food and prioritise their government income to paying for their fixes - it's either that or they turn to crime. The problem is that it is too late for them as they are addicted, with criminal records and little hope of getting jobs. It all starts in their early years where they were too short sighted to see how taking a joint here of there would harm them in the long run.

pslewis

Can we not terminate their miserable lives then? That's a win win surely?

Like benefits, a large proportion of food bank recipients are actually in work

It is just a shame the truth doesn't fit the easy paranoia of the clinically thick

pslewis

In that case, let's enforce the Tory bosses to pay a living wage then?

Vote Labour and secure fairness .... !!

dpb

What, like Tony Blair. .

pslewis

History ... we have issues to solve today.

SJ_Skyline

Blair did alright out of fairness, lining his pockets with millions and sticking his dick into Wendi Deng... Well, it all depends on where you're standing, eh?
