Almost all food banks require a voucher which given out by housing officers, social work etc. So good luck trying to scam people

[@apemoon1731]

@@violetanndoherty6872 really? There must be a hell of a lot of housing officers and social workers around to assess so many people and issue so many vouchers. That used to be the case, but not anymore.

I have noticed that a lot of donations consist of pasta sauces and things of that ilk...but to use those sauces usually requires meat and other ingredients. It's hardly basic food to keep people going. If they can afford to pay for the meat, the sauce to cook it in doesn't add much to the cost. And I do believe many are taking advantage of the "free stuff" when they are not in need, depriving those that truly are.

[@kathybland9174]

People cannot afford meat themselves. We give fresh and tinned meat in our food bags as well as pasta sauce to put with the meat. People need a referral to go to a food bank, so their need has been established by the referring agency before they come.

The benefits of Brexit would come, if those in high positions that can't accept it's what was voted for, and do everything in there power at every available opportunity to thwart it, actually abided by the democratic process and got on with what was voted for. A successful Brexit is what is feared by these people, because it would see the disintegration of the EU, when others decided to leave too.

[@widervision710]

@@mickee8025 errrr okay, so I guess everyone voting & believing in Brexit were conned then? Perhaps the UK could outsource a government of intellect to help solve the problems the UK is now facing due to the negative impact of Brexit? It might undermine the purpose of Brexit, but it could help steer the UK in a better direction?

[@mickee8025]

@@widervision710 The negative impact, as you call it has been amplified by those whos mission it is to see it fail, and have us return to the EU fold. If the Remoaners had just got on with it, instead of spending/wasting several years trying to reverse it, then we would have been in a far better position than we are.
