Quizqueen, what a very horrible and totally nasty post that was. Just hope, very much, that you are never in the position of needing help from places such a foodbanks. Mind, you I do think it is quite disgusting that in this country, one of the richest on the world, we NEED such things - but we do!!!
Have you ever actually been to a food bank? Have you ever found out why people need this help? Do you realise that most users are people who are IN WORK (or, at least were, before March). Have you ever seen a child in school who has not had breakfast? Have you ever been in the position of going with any food yourself so that your children may have something to eat? Have you any idea how anyone even gets a chit to be permitted to use a Food Bank?
I bet the answer is NO to all those questions.
Food Bank users are most definitely not any sort of scroungers -
I find it difficult to believe that someone with your views can live comfortably with yourself.

That's the underlying issue-
Anyone who qualifies for food banks, has access to food banks- It doesn't matter if you own a horse, a home, smoke, drink, or do drugs- It's based on income- Not moral policing-
Ideas like the only people who should qualify cannot afford anything other than basic survival necessities supports the underlying issue mentioned above-
