More food for thought. I was wondering what happens to the food in the food banks when the recipients go away on their holidays? Is it kept for them when they come back or is it given to others as extra rations? Just wondering because they had a lovely tan and the question has been exercising me since.

(a) Could have been a friends
(b) Could have bought it when working but have now lost their job and benefits not yet sorted.
People using food banks are in an immediate crisis situation and we no longer expect people to sell all that they possess to be receive support.

Invest your money wisely and of course you can beat the "recession"...what is this "recession" people speak of?!

I don't hear of many taxi drivers losing jobs so people must be able to use such "luxuries" especially in the affluent areas of BirkenVegas and The Fez (New Ferry)!!

Or do the humble tax payer enable these people to benefit??

Put the keyboard down DJDuck and step away from the Gin.

So far you've boasted of living in the South Wirral (Bromborough... LOL!!), not knowing what the recession is and not knowing where Seacombe is.

It's either half term and your Mum has let you stay up extra late, a bored troll sitting in his Brom bedsit in his PJ's with a can of Strongbow, or a combination of both.

Ill have to repeat myself on here....it doesnt matter whos "in power" the public is and will always be the cash cow for their taxation spending. Period. My dad predicted in 2005 the recession cause in his job at the time he could see the massive over reaching supply of debt being fuelled by perception of house price increases and keeping up with joneses mentality.
The loan givers that said yes to mortgages you couldnt afford on your wages are now replaced by parasites like wonga "selling money" to make money.
I personally have zero debt because i dont trust anyone or "advisers".
The gov will rape everything off you if it can.they have NO money,its ours.
Society as george carlin said 10 years ago is obsessed by self indulgent consumerism with no care for the consequences ,weve switched off like the fat robot consumers of the usa .
Meanwhile any gov will rape your pension off you,degrade your job,pay you less if they can...

The bottom line is energy wealth money loan providers insurance suppliers telecoms companies etc etc are all corrupt and power money mad.(regulators are weak) The reigns to do it are given by gov policies.

Excellent program. Exposed the evil of capitalism and how the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The media should be highlighting this kind of philosophy, but of course it wont.

Russell Brand explains it all very well in Revolution - trouble is the readership tend to be people who know already.

The human condition is not to be bothered ultimately by things that dont directly affect you.
So if you apply that to the last 25 years...mps dont care your sons and daughters are getting killed in a war to protect oil wealth,an mp doesnt care about you being on £6 an hour and your pension raped(theirs is ok) ,the ceo charging you 7534% on your loan just wants to make £, the salesman ripping you off just wants his commission , the oaps treated like ... in homes and hospitals arent the parents of multi million pound private company owners,the fat obese chavs in macs filling their face with calories dont give a toss about how the animals are treated to make that food, and so on and so on....
Until it comes to their door!!!....
People believe the hype theyre told by the gov controlled puppet media...like the recessions over!! HA tosh.
There was a brilliant prog years ago called "tower block of commons" it high lighted the lack of concern or care of mps at the results of their self serving policies. They were forced to confront them.
This trickle down of wealth from low tax paying uk based rich and ceos is utter tosh that is go on about all the time ,Its more like an hour glass squeezing the middle class.
