Blind leading a blind..

Just make me a mod, and i will take care of things.

I promise it totally wont be like:

You couldn't handle the pressure boy.

Edit - the more I think about it I'm the only one left. Teedles is busy poncing about with recipes, jup is looking for the perfect height enhancing shoe and Meg is beside himself with sex. I need a fucking pay rise

I can handle a couple of old farts with bad stomachs.

It sounds easy in your suicidal Swedish/Danish/Finnish wherever the fuck head but it isn't. It's tough, it's constant, I never sleep, I quit work to monitor this place. You can't handle the responsibility.

Had tickets for Portsmouth for my birthday. Good enough reason to cancel though! Hope he is on the mend.

It's just a really badly worded slogan for a cancer centre in 'murica. It's supposed to be saying that cancer doesn't have a chance but it could easily mean you don't have a chance if you have cancer.

They are building 600 or so crap "affordable" houses on what was greenbelt land not too far away from me. So the piling started 3 weeks ago, and has been driving those close to it mental. Starts at 8:00 and ends at 5:00 Monday to Friday, the machine piles every 2 seconds or so.

Anyway yesterday this happened and filled lots of locals with lulz.

How fucking patronising; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34658755

Some people are struggling because of policy on poor people, it's kind of offensive to put people in these places which makes it look like they're the ones in the wrong.

Practical not patronising tbh.

I've been to a job centre in recent years.

I know how 'job advisors' treat people, like dirt, like absolute dog shit.

You have a family that has been absolutely fucked over by government cuts and such, you're working your bollocks off working a billion hours a week, but you still aren't 'comfortable', you humiliate yourself by going to the food bank to get some hand outs, and then there's a person treating like you're sub-human.

Well, seeing as we don't have a magic money tree to pay these people 25k a year to do feck all, what else would you suggest?

I sympathise with view also.

However, a lot of people who use food banks will also be using the jobcentre - why not get it over and done with in one go?

How would a job advisor help someone who has a job to get another job which pays better?

Sure, suggest the job centre as a place to get a new job, but help the people who are already in full-time employment, personally, if you have someone with a full time job and they're still reliant on foodbanks, there's an inherent problem, no?

Completely agree with this, however.

The working poor is a damning enditement of our economic system, but I'm not allowed to talk about this without our more right-wing members jumping on me saying "don't you dare talk about changing our beloved system in *any* way even though it's clearly an unpolished turd, you goddamn communist"...

 

[Gwadien]

It's almost as if we're accepting that food banks will become a common feature of society.

Thank the lord for the house of lords.

To be honest, for me that's more a damning indictment of the Job Centres themselves - I remember when I was first unemployed, circa 2005 ish, the Job Centre was actually a really useful resource in terms of getting a job - they had a good job appointments system, and the people who worked there were generally useful at helping people get a job, or even getting a better job if they wished. Then fast forward to 2009 when I next had to sign on, it had changed completely - grumpy staff, generally feckless, always arsey with you if you hadn't found anything, but no apparent will to actually help you get into work. Luckily I found something a week later, but it was no thanks to the morons in the Job Centre.

It needs to be what it says on the tin - a Job Centre, not a Benefits Office. If It was more like a state run Recruitment Agency (without the glorified sales people in shiny suits) they would be a damn sight more helpful for people who want to get on in life.

As for Food Banks, well if you want a stick to beat the government with feel free, however I don't think their existance is in any way a bad reflection on modern society - in fact I think the complete opposite. People have always gone hungry (although the number in the UK has been falling steadily for 7 years or so), however now society has found a way to use food that would otherwise have been wasted, and ensure those in need don't go hungry. I'm failing to see how they are a bad thing to be fair. I mean even the caring, sharing, "oh wouldn't you love us to be just like them" Scandinavians have them so they are far from just a feature of like in the UK.

But then if you look on them as a good thing then the opportunity for political point scoring is reduced, and it would give the monkeys they have attempting to run the country North of the border one less chip on their shoulder.

It would be great if we could give everyone enough money not to have to go hungry, but in the real world, that just ain't going to happen.

 

[CorNokZ]

What's a food Bank? Free food for the poor and needy?

 

[Scouse]

Staggering. Absolutely staggering.

In a society with such amazing wealth, in one of the richest countries in the world, in a country where just five families hold as much wealth as the poorest 20% of population (i.e. just five families hold as much wealth in blighty as the poorest twelve million), we've got the working poor having to survive on food handouts because they can't afford to support themselves.

And that's not an enditement of our modern society? I know you're one of these "there's always been poor people" luddites, but your opinion on this just beggars belief.
