Off Topic General Election Special

Yeah and most of the so called pensioners complaining about the Dimensia Tax are actually teenage troublemakers in white wigs.

 

It was a presentation. I did work for said company at the time.

 

we need to be in the EU trade agreement for now.
a hard brexit would be disasterous

 

It does believe me I've lived on Bransholme long enough.
I even know people that use them and can still manage a visit to the pub and have nice smartphones.
If you don't think it goes on you are incredibly naive.

 

So I take it that from your responses, that you have no experience of food banks nor can you provide any evidence that backed up the assertion that they were being used by people with no need.....thanks for clearing that up

 

You must have a fascinating job. Any vacancies? I can send you my CV.

 

Some of those numbers are quite possibly skewed. When we got our first place we rented through the council in 2012, our daughters health visitor person or whatever just turned up at our door with a box full of food from a food bank we never asked for or needed. Indeed most of it was ****e and went in the bin.

 

Bit ironic considering you were in the military. No offence, but military personnel generally tend to be the biggest welfare queens in any advance Western country during their time of service.

 

Steady Patty you're getting half sensible.

 

And neither are healthy

Although wiki says flora is margarine. Weird.

 

were living in 21st century and people are using FOODBANKS?
that cant be right

 

So how do these people obtain the voucher necessary to go and collect a food parcel in Hull?

 

its irrelevant who you vote for - someone has to pay for your health in old age - who do you think should pay, I think you should pay yourself if you have the money and thats not a Tory policy, its all parties - the new Tory proposal is that some of the money should come from the equity in your house after you've moved on - of course it might be easy to bypass this by putting into trust etc but at the end of the day we are all living longer and costs of care will increase and will need to be paid - again, I ask who should pay, Labour has suggested the never ending money tree where money miraculously pays for everything, its ironic that Labour want rich bastards to pay for everything but as soon as a rich bastard has to sell his house they call foul and call Torys heartless for making them pay - its all bollox really

 

hmm I dunno if thats a compliment or not.

 

The hatred is building. Will this thread last until the election results are in? or even until the polls open?

 

oh forgive me...... it was a whoosh moment on my behalf

 

nah, think it should be closed when the poles close

 

I've been to a soup kitchen on plenty of occasions, which I suppose is a similar type of gig. I was a dab hand with a ladle.

Some of the customers spent all their dole money on smack and white lightening and just rocked up for some free nose bag.

Not trying to make a point but you've got to be incredibly naive to think good banks/ soup kitchens don't get abused by unscrupulous types.
