Tha vast majority of the people using food banks are alcoholics and junkies who blow their benefit payment on the first day they receive it 

To be honest it wouldn't surprise me at all but I can't say I know that as fact.

 

What I do know is that these folk, usually teachers and nurses who claim they need food banks even though they work full time need a financial advisor, not a foodbank. It's usually the leftwing working sector that make these claims however so I highly doubt they would claim to be using them if the conservatives were not in power.

The lefties are outraged because Starmer has refused to say that he will remove the two child cap on benefits

 

What they don't realise is that he will do it but after the election so they should just stay quiet

 

However for the people who work hard It should be a wake up call to taxpayers that Labour will go back to the days when it was better to sit at home all day than to work a 40 hour a week job

 

They want to allow millions of people to have as many kids as they want and to get the taxpayer to pay for them 

Like the democrats in the states.

 

They want to keep people in their place rather than reward hard work. They encourage lazyness.

Interesting reading that to be fair.

 

Am I correct in thinking most of them are one organisation that is in different areas each day rather than a static permanent foodbank, hence it gives the impression there are more than what it seems?

Really?

 

Is that why:

 

Democratic congressional districts account for 64% of the U.S. GDP

Democrat states have ~27% more millionaires than Republican states

The average household income in Democrat states is ~$237,000

The average household income in Republican states is~ $164,000

Democratic districts have a median household income of $61,000

Republican districts have a median household income of $55,000
35.88% of people in Democrat states have a degree

27.76% of people in Republican states have a degree

Republican states have a 4.53% higher unemployment rate than Democrat states

Republican states have 23.9% higher poverty rates than Democrat states

 

?

 

Chalk this one up as another episode in the popular serial "Al gets taken up the garden path and his pants pulled down"! 🤣

The yawning lack of awareness that some people have about how people unlike themselves live is  quite staggering, and very worrying. 

They need to get out more, and maybe take an occasional trip to the poorer areas of the city / country to see the reality of what's happening.

What do you know about me , where I live? my income ? my social life ?  
I am at the lower end of the social ladder but I know what I see . I know two people (a couple) who have used a foodbank  . They are wasters . If you want me to tell you more , I will. 
I honestly could not tell you where a

 foodbank is  , even though according to you there’s one on every corner . Do you honestly believe that without foodbanks there would be people dying of starvation. 
Please don’t preach about a lack of awareness.

Yes.

5% of the population of Britain (3 million) are said to be malnourished according to the British association of parential and enteral nutrition, in 2020 

Of these 2,500 children were admitted to hospital with malnutrition in the first 6 months of 2020 

 

According to Age UK at least 2 elderly people a week die of starvation.
