Mister M Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Is anybody else appalled by the news that Job Centres are from tomorrow going to be referring claimants refused crisis loans or had their benefits delayed to 'food banks'. Apparently the Government are 'worried' that many Britons face a bleak choice: starvation or feeding themselves by begging or stealing. The Christian Charity which will be doling out the food parcels, the Trussell Trust predicts that they will be handing out 100,000 food parcels this year and are planning to open another 60 soup kitchen type places, on top of the 70 it already has in operation. read about it here: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jobcentres-to-send-poor-and-hungry-to-charity-food-banks-2356578.html#disqus_thread How long before Britain is divided into parishes, each with its own workhouse?

Badlittlepup Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Well what would you rather they did? Just said no, we're not giving you any money you're on your own or at least directed them somewhere so they wouldn't starve? Unfortunately it's not possible to dole out free money on demand.

Happ Hazzard Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 It's a good idea IMO. For too long people have abused crisis loans in order to feed drug habits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
