Where would we be without the likes of her? Well probably better off to start with that's for sure. <br /><br />Never forget Tris that oor wee Mags voted with the Tories for £30 Billion MORE austerity cuts. Mind you do not expect her to agree with that statement cause she won't. Apparently, according to oor Mags anyway, she did NOT vote for ANOTHER round of £30 Billion austerity cuts. Oh no she voted, to sort of quote her, to "vbalance" the books! Yep Tris you read that right she voted to balance the books. <br /><br />Hmm. £1.5 TRILLION of debt and oor Mags thinks voting FOR £30 Billion of austerity is actually balancing the books.

May I also add I agree with John as well, the humiliation of having to go for what many people will regard as a handout. <br />In this day and age why are we tolerating this. I know that my own family went through a very bad time, but that was before the last War, you know the one we fought against Hitler and then we set up things like Social Security and the National Health Service. Now our Masters have many people so brainwashed that they think that their neighbours are all on the fiddle and should be out working. Well for these people only, those mostly using foodbanks are, they are being paid pittances for it, and therefore they now need to go and get the very basic thing of all, Food. <br />I will go through my cupboards for thing which I can do without and add them to the Tesco basket, it is a pity they do not take frozen as I have grave doubts I can eat my freezer out before I move house.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03930463301985234273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-74766048434474029442015-03-04T12:50:56.911+00:002015-03-04T12:50:56.911+00:00I know what you mean tris.

I'm too young to remember the soup kitchens ....<br /><br />Party the poverty caused by the incompetence of the Alistair Darlings and Gordon Browns of the world, yes, but a decent government would have done its best to protect the really vulnerable at a time like this.<br /><br />The dramatic rise in numbers seem to be attributable to Iain Duncan Smith and his inefficient DWP, where people are sanctioned for next to nothing and where claims take weeks to process, are processed wrongly and our fellow humans are treated like so much excrement.<br /><br />I'll keep my eyes open for a study which doesn't aim to make political capital out of the situation.

I watched Dispatches this morning, wouldn't advise it first thing in the morning but i learned that I despise IDS and McVey more than I thought I did and Clegg and Miliband just as much. They are all scum and that is being polite. This country is living to regret that stupid decision last Sep and The Rancid can burn in hell, Curran is just a lying cow. <br /><br />BruceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-13369543351582891012015-03-04T07:14:52.469+00:002015-03-04T07:14:52.469+00:00I'd like to read an academic run study into th...I'd like to read an academic run study into the phenomenon of foodbanks. Yes we've always had them, but never on this scale.<br /><br />Is it down to welfare reform? Or the fact that Labour led this country into the worst economic crisis since 1929?<br /><br />Or more likely a combination of the two?<br /><br />Either way, an academic study to discover the underlying causes, free of the politics.
