I used to work with a bloke that had been a POW. He used to hoard food and eat everybody's leftovers from the canteen. To him it was perfectly logical. He never knew when bad times were coming back.. He was the most gentle, caring bloke ever. He came round to my house and noticed the kids pet rabbits and guinea pigs were begging at the wire mesh for food. It really upset him thinking they were hungry. So from that  moment on he used to gather loads of grass twice a week and bring it round so the kids pets would never go hungry.

Some of the lads used to be rough on him and call him 'gannet' and 'starver'. But for me he was a top bloke, its a pity that it takes that sort of experience to bring out the best in people.

I knew a guy that was the same he was a japaneese pow ,they had a bad time of it although he rarely spoke about it ,,,

I’m going to ask you a straight couple of questions mate and I think in this whole conversation they matter, my question is:

Who wins if they don’t get it?

Who Looses if they do get it? 
 

 

I get what you're saying mate but its symptoms or cure....those that can heal can harm/those that can cure can kill etc etc

After 1.3 trillion quid to Africans and a worldwide pandemic to even think about focusing on our own....some might say that horse has bolted.

We are a first world country with probably the wealthiest lowest tier living in the world....in this day and age with all the benefits in place,child allowance/child support/tax credits/housing benefit etc all in place,any child allowed to go hungry should be taken into care in my opinion.....worst ways reduce their benefits and make it up with food vouchers instead.

That won’t happen as some lefty cnut will determine that’s against human rights or something, it will get to point ( if it’s not already there) that the folk on minimum wages are the true poor of this country, that’s folk who wanna are are working ffs

I'd be better off on benefits and not working but why would I not want to work .. I can't understand people who don't want to go out and provide for their family

[chartpolski 23,561]

I mentioned on a thread, some time back, when I did three months pro bono work for the DHSS.

This was when they were closing the dole offices and going on-line. Every claimant had to have a c.v. uploaded on line and had to open an e-mail account.

It was my job to help them do this.

I couldn't believe the number of people, mainly men in their 30's and 40's, who were illiterate and innumerate, who had never had a job in their life, had no intention of ever wanting or getting a job, and were happy to just get their benefits and carry on.

Theres a whole underclass who have never worked, sometimes they are second or third generation benefits claimants, whole families who have known nothing but the dole.

Extending free school meals into the holidays is just a sticking plaster on a wound that requires major surgery.

The Torys won't fix it, and Labour would only expand it.

I don't have the answers, but I hope someone does.

Cheers.

I've just spent the last 40 mins, or so, reading the arbitrary lockdown rules for Greater Manchester's 'Tier 3.'

Everyone will be on benefits at this rate...

All these celebrities and famous folks are always asking us to donate to charity and most the cnuts live in tax havens etc... Bono, rolling stones to name a few, wouldn't miss a few million.... Cheeky cnuts just like that monkey getting payed millions to kick a ballput your hand in your pockets eh? 

[keepdiggin 9,561]

It's like a man with 10 chocolate bars telling the man who only has one to donate it to charity 

[jukel123 8,017]

Rashford does donate personally to at least two charities. One for the homeless in Manchester and his fareshair scheme. That scheme has raised well over £20 million.

I'm from the same area as Rashford and I am personally proud of him. Very proud in fact. They should put up a statue of him. I've donated too. I've recently donated to £100 to the Trussel Trust which provides supplies food banks, and I give a monthly sum to Oxfam. I'm not virtue signalling, but like Rashford, I put my money where my mouth is. All his critics have obviously never been through real, grinding poverty. It's something you never forget.
