You could earn 3k a month and have 2.95k outgoings and I could have 500 pound coming in and nothing going out. Do they look for proof of your outgoings? I'd rather shoplift outta Tesco.
My local supermarket has a food bank for dogs. I've never seen any dogs in collecting it though, seems a bit of a waste of time, could they not give the dog food to homeless people?
I'm really not sure how it works but at a guess I'd say they would do some checks. It all comes down to your last sentence though - you'd have to either be pretty desperate or a freebie junkie to go to one.
Just turn up, answer a few questions and they give you a bag of grub. They will also ask if you are an alcoholic, say "Yes", you'll get 8 cans of 8 Ace thrown in.
Hey, if you're going to continue to read ****e like the Mirror... well... [video=youtube;iLKa511cwZk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLKa511cwZk[/video]
I dont have any problem with people in genuine need being supplied with the things they require for living, I dont see food as being any different to health care, housing and education in that respect. The problem arises in defining genuine need. Unfortunately there seem to be generations of utterly feckless, dependent, indolent people who believe being looked after by the state is both their right and the norm. Since we are on the subject of food, if some of the folk who require food parcels actually learned to cook rather than reheat/microwave ready made meals or depend on takeaway junk they would find they had to spend much less money on food. However, barring the small percentage of this group who have a cognitive deficit which prevents them from learning to cook, there is an obvious belief that they dont need to do this to improve their lot and think that the responsibility to feed them with food that is free of much effort from them lies with everyone else. Those are the people I have a problem with. I actually think the only way to get some people to improve themselves and - probably more importantly - show this example to their children rather than teach their kids a learned helplessness is to either remove the safety net or restructure how benefits are given.
'Let them eat cake' You selfish ****ing spoilt ****s knocking the poorest people on a 9 page thread when it's ****s like Mick avoiding tax whilst bumming the people that are ruining this country who are partly to blame? Mick = I gave free sky to all my scummy inbred oirish mates and that makes me a legend. I honestly hope you all ****ing rot. Venom, square ****ing go. I got my pay rise, I'll come hunt you down in that ****hole you call home and knock the ****ing ugly off you. I might have to book a few weeks off work though... And there'd still be plenty of ugly left
We don't live in ****ing Somalia, this country throws away tons of food every day. Attacking a few poor ****s for getting tins of beans is exactly what the Tories/Daily Mail/etc want you to do, place the blame on the poor. Let's just continue allowing the richest ****s here to do whatever the **** they want and watch the Jeremy Kyle show to feel better about themselves. I'll kick all your ****ing ****s in, this thread is a ****ing disgrace.
We can't put a maximum cap on fuel bills, the Russians won't send us their gas at whatever price we think is fair if the market will pay them a higher price elsewhere. If we cap rents we reduce the market incentive to build and invest in housing - several people on here including ER and Dan say they are happy renters - a landlord is happy to let to them, and they are happy to pay a rent - a win/win situation for both sides. If you restrict rents to the point that there is low returns in letting then investors will move their money elsewhere - it might be a good thing if you want to buy your own house (not competing with buy-to-let landlords) but the rental market would tank and Dan and ER would lose out - unless a government stepped in and started building and maintaining houses with tax payer money. Then we'd have all the inefficiencies common with government owned houses (the government owned house I grew up in didn't have central heating until I was 10, which was 1994/1995 - I remember because they rehoused us while they did the work).
I hope the betting industry goes to ****. Good luck feeding your fat ugly jobless wife and ginger kids If you posted a pic of your missus, even Gas wouldn't
