saunaman Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Saw a clip several years ago, the interviewer asked one guy why he was using a food bank? He replied that he had TV licence arrears and that if he failed to pay them he would end up going to prison. In my humble opinion that is disgusting. People should not have to fund the biased BBC under threat of court and then imprisonment when they are then having to use food banks to survive. Trussell Trust also charge around £1,000 a year to food banks so at least one "charitable" organisation is profiting from this. Cue the slagging off...

Guest sibon Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I thik that it is a disgrace that stories like this are not being reported by mainstream media. I've even searched under "Austrian News" on the BBC website, but there is no mention of any food bank/ TV license conflict. It is a discrace:rant: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are TAKING OVER and until this country uses some COMMON SENCE we will be living under Zafira Law before you know it. One of them shagged my Focus you know.

Why cnat they organise their finances, so they pay their TV licence? They dont have to have a TV. Trussell charges the money to help with its running costs. Yes it actuallu costs them money to run a charity. A foodbank doesnt have to join, but if they do they get to use the Trussell expertise, branding and they also get given the money back in grants and stock. Nobody is forcing you to donate. Do you volunteer or is it all outrage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be ok if you thought the BBC wasn't in your opinion biased? Why cnat they organise their finances, so they pay their TV licence? They dont have to have a TV.

I noticed Iceland were selling spatchcock chickens. Curious about this I looked it up and it turns out they are teenage chickens. I was so enraged the next day I cancelled my holiday in Reykjavik. I'll never shop in Iceland again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally I have not set foot in a shop since, and have survived adequately on a diet of spiders and righteous indignation since. This has saved me a not inconsiderable amount of money, but that Tracey in Co-op Bank looked at me funny in 2003 so I'm afraid it'll have to stay there.

apelike Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Not all food banks are run by the Trussell Trust. True as most of the others are run by volunteers whereas the Trussell Trust have paid staff and a paid manager/director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
