Howard
you will note i have made no allegation, and replied to each question, and re directed views to the particular poster
(reg) in this instance
It is sad that some one that appears to have ambition for higher office to get involved in name calling
it wlll do little to encourage debate
but i suppose with some posters its there way

food banks are not an aladdins cave that anyone can go along to and collect food. social services, police and others make the decision as to who is eligible.

Howard, I am referring to #70 when I call Keith a duplicitous moron and I stand by it.
Food banks will always be popular, anything given away free will be in demand. We can discuss all day who uses them and why, the fact is there will always be a queue for free food.

What about it?
Howard, you're as bad as Keith here, I'm not saying food banks are not needed or warranted, I'm simply saying that anything given away for free will be in demand. Ask Hammonds to offer free petrol on a Friday afternoon, see if they get any takers

For goodness sake, grow up. Any second now one of you will state " my dads bigger than your dad".
The point of this forum if for people to air different viewpoints, to promote discussion and in some cases to educate and inform.
Cat fighting achieves absolutly nothing.

David, it is British tradition to give to charity, not to self-serve when not required.
Food banks are appearing owing to increased poverty, not because "it's popular to get for free".
People are registered to food banks out of sheer necessity due to their personal circumstances.
The self-serving are at the other end of the ladder, in high places where they control constant streams of money.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Courtesy Independent.......
Hungry Britain: More than 500,000 people forced to use food banks, warns Oxfam
Number has trebled in past 12 months
More than half a million Britons have resorted to using food banks to stave off hunger and destitution,
the Government has been warned.
Major charities signalled their alarm over a dramatic rise in the nation's "hidden hungry" - families
who are forced to ask for help to feed themselves - because of wage cuts, the squeeze on benefits
and the continuing economic downturn. The numbers have trebled in the past year alone and are
likely to continue rising rapidly despite Britain's status as one of the world's wealthiest nations,
according to a joint report by Oxfam and Church Action on Poverty.
They say cuts to welfare payments - including below-inflation rises in benefits, new Jobseeker's
Allowance sanctions and reassessment of entitlement to invalidity benefits - are the biggest cause
of the surge in demand for food banks in all parts of the country.

Yep, Keith, and to boot the Government's statement, as in my post above.
"The Government insists it is not responsible for the rise in food banks..."
Should one not say to this Government: "Be gone!"?
Fact is, food banks are increasing in number, and so too the number of people going to them.
In no time we will be level with Greece.
