Reply To: Food Banks

You are spot on Celwyn. I was laid of work 6 months ago due to health problems and have had to go on benefits for the first time in my life. I have 3 kids and the mrs works part time and 3 weeks ago we had to go to the food bank or we just would not have been able to feed the kids. We have a very normal lifestyle, not been on holiday for 5 years a non existant social life , dont drink or smoke or do drugs and with the cost of food going up and energy prices increase i cant see us have another holiday in the next 5 years. This country and whole system is fucked , apologies for language but it is. When i see people from other countries being welcomed into the uk when we have so many problems in our own country with homelessness i just cannot get my head round who makes these decisions. You work hard all your life and follow the rules and it will get you no where if you need help.
