It's a disgrace that in such a supposedly civilised nation there is a growing underclass that cannot even afford food. Food banks are a great idea, but there should be no demand for them in the UK.

I have a feeling that
a lot of the bin divers are doing it as a "lifestyle" choice as well as a need.

Freeganism, I think

A "freelance web designer" who lives in a squat
In other words, a middle-class tree-hugger type who says he wants to "smash the system", thinks the world should come to him, but doesn't want to do any work.

It's probably his own fault.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 29 Jan 2014, 10:39, Reply)

I don't get it, he's not 'too proud' to say he eats of bins, but is to say that he's unemployed.
I don't think you can realisticly design websites from a squat.

I'm not convinced that there are many people who can't afford food, if they changed their spending habits.

What makes you say that?
Perhaps I should have qualified that with "in Britain".
( Je suis un vagabond is an unfunny, up your own arse middle class knob, Wed 29 Jan 2014, 10:35, Reply)

Well, leaving aside the fact that there are many people who cannot afford to feed themselves and their family properly, perhaps I should qualify it by saying it would be a disgrace if there were *any* people "in Britain" in this situation.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 29 Jan 2014, 10:39, Reply)

I'm not convinced there are many people in Britain who, if they changed their spending habits, couldn't afford to feed their family.
Whether or not it would be a disgrace if there were such people in Britain is moot.

I'm sure queuing at a food bank is the immediate first choice for these lazy people.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 29 Jan 2014, 10:43, Reply)

He is clearly aware that you don't just turn up to food banks looking for a snack but need to be referred to them
but he doens't let that stand in the way of his argument.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 29 Jan 2014, 10:45, Reply)

How does one end up in the situation of needing to be referred to a food bank?

( Je suis un vagabond is an unfunny, up your own arse middle class knob, Wed 29 Jan 2014, 10:47, Reply)

Your doctor, or social worker, or the police identify people who are in serious trouble and refer them

(Bazongaloid, Wed 29 Jan 2014, 10:50, Reply)

I see. Are their finances and financial obligations and habits assessed?

( Je suis un vagabond is an unfunny, up your own arse middle class knob, Wed 29 Jan 2014, 10:51, Reply)

The DWP also issue referrals. So yes.
You fucking spastic

That doesn't necessarily mean they assess their financial habits.
But you seem terribly upset. You might find a cup of cocoa and a lie-down helpful.

But you are by impication convinced that there are some people in britain who cannot afford to feed their family's even with changed spending habits
but apparently you're cool with that. Most likely because you're a cunt.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 29 Jan 2014, 10:44, Reply)

No. I'm saying I'm aware of them - homeless drug addicts, for example.
I didn't say I'm cool with it at at all.
( Je suis un vagabond is an unfunny, up your own arse middle class knob, Wed 29 Jan 2014, 10:46, Reply)

So why, when you are aware that people in 21st Century Britain are actually starving to death
are you saying that people that are nearly starving to death should stop complaining and just budget better. They should never have anything fun, they shouldn't have anything to look forward to, they shouldn't have new clothes, they should just budget for their food and simply exist hand to mouth until they die.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 29 Jan 2014, 10:49, Reply)

Because they're below me and they need to be shot.
And I'll be willing to bet a food bank that the majority of them are pretty ugly, too.
