The General Election Thread

[Lucky13]

No one could have foreseen more people using a free food service.

"Getting food from the foodbank really helped to reduce stress but it wasn’t just the
food, it was the welcome that was brilliant. Just talking to someone who genuinely
cared for ten minutes changed my perspective. It gave me the confidence I needed
to keep on applying for jobs and now I’ve got one. Without the foodbank I’d still be
homeless and on the dole. The foodbank is the best thing in the world.’

">> Over 27,000 professionals like social workers, health visitors and schools
liaison officers refer clients in crisis to our foodbanks."

I congratulate them on finding work and providing for themselves, proving the point that I many others have said that there is no need for anyone to be out of work and using food banks.

Sounds like they were after a community centre more than anything else.

Wise words from our future PM.

My mates bro got with a lass with 9 kids (yeah i said 9), had 2 himself with her and they got/get loads of cash, they still get 500 a week or summat but they also use foodbanks now.
They moved onto using them as a lifestyle as i would change socks. If it is free some people will abuse it.

He could work and she could have stopped having kids but such is life.
The strange thing is he is a decent lad but work or even work ethic on his estate and circle of mates just doesn't exist. They either sell drugs or get dole or both. If i said to him, here is a job then he would look at me as if i was mad.

tl;dr; All benefit/aid systems need to be controlled better. Rather than guidlines and rules, have officers look into every case deeper and hire more of them.

I'm struggling to imagine how small someone's penis has to be for them to assume an online persona.

I'm struggling imagining you imagining how big/small other people's nobs are. Takes all sorts I suppose.

After coming down from the mountain with his #edstone , Ed the Red promises to walk on water.

Not happy with that!

I see that statue every day.

Free food is just enabling their bad choices and locking them into poverty. The money should be spent on educating them.

Russel Brand is a fool who hears other people use interesting words and tries to jam them into a sentence to give a veneer of respectability.
Half the posters on here would tear him a new one, he was shit as a comedian and no good at politics either.

He is a poor orator with a whiny cockney voice and eyeliner. There is one word, one word to rule them all regarding this man... ****!

The blindingly obvious flaw in that is it would mean them putting in some effort

Because all poor people are uneducated right?

In fairness like most things it is somewhere in the middle, ofc give them the food they need but not without question.
My mates bro for example could be made to work or explain why he is not when they go to a food bank.
This sounds harsh but i can assure you unless someone puts a rocket up his arse he will not change and there are many like him.

Between this and the Kate and Wills thread, are you getting to do any MODing?

Working on a huge forum change coming at the end of the season. Sat around waiting for Ric to answer PM at the minute.

So no, really.

Not forgetting the treadmill.

The Telegraph has been an utter disgrace during this election. I usually quite like it as there are some good writers who offer an interesting viewpoint. But it has gone completely over the top the last few weeks publishing lies and slurs which are completely unworthy of its normally sensibly centrist-right one-nation stance.
