There is a big difference between calling an arrogant twit ASSGuru or suggesting that MP was a bit of a protective mother (I stopped reading the thread at that point it was nosediving) and accusing someone of being a nonce.Comment

Obviously it may vary between each one, but what I've heard personally is positive. And since you're not giving money, you know what you give is actually going to someone who will eat it.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Ive not yet had to refer anyone to a food bank but suspect it is only a matter of time. If one of the main issues is poor administration of the benefits system then that is truly disgusting. Not to mention targets for jobcentre staff to sanction people for being one minute late or failing to make 10 pointless job applications. I cant help feeling that the existence of food banks helps to shore up a move to american style welfare, where ordinary decent people end up sleeping in storm drainsComment
