According to the latest statistics. Unemployment rates is at is lowest for the last few years. Meaning more people have been employed over the last 5 years. Yet another statistic realeased that 1 in 60 people in the United Kingdom now use food banks on a weekly basis. So going by that it shows people who work are less wealthy than people who don't work or they manipulate the statistics in such a way it looks like employments rates are getting better when they clearly aren't  |

"Or that because the food banks are there , more people use them ?"
You have to have a voucher to access food banks, and you have to prove genuine need in order to get a voucher. It's not the case that you can just rock up to a food bank and fill the boot of your car with free food. |

Foodbanks aren't just used by unemployed people, they're used by people on low incomes too. You need to be referred by an agency such as Citizens Advice, your GP or an educational establishment and you can only go twice in six months I think, you can't just rock up and be given food.  |

Isn't it -
Unemployed and claiming unemployment benefit?
I think there are other benefits that you can claim, different name but similar.
Disclaimer, I haven't claimed in more years than I care to mention so I don't actually know the system anymore. |

Snap! You are also only given three days worth of food. |

This Government lies more than any in history, and that's saying something given that they've all been lying to us since time began!
The fact that food banks even exist is a damning shame on the lot of them.
Don't believe the hype. |

It's false statistics, unemployment seems lower due to the school leavers age raised to 18 not 16, in September there will be a massive rise in unemployment when the first schooleavers in 2 years leave school
Well that's my theory anyway |

If you are on income support you aren't classed as unemployed....
I have just had to sign on to jsa....I am now a statistic......
Foodbanks .....hmmmm ....think they are great myself....never needed to use one....and hope I never have to....BUT.....I do think there should be stricter rules......people with addictions.....shouldn't be allowed to get help.....if you need food for your kids, get help from social services, get clean, get priorities right........
From experience......I know that people put their addictions before their kids and thats disgusting....by helping them after they have didn't their wages/benefits on smack/cider/fags kinda feels like we are allowing them to abuse the foodbanks and children.
Grrrr |

Unfortunately people are very quick to judge.A young unemployed Mum across the road from me does indeed wear expensive clothing but its bought for her for birthdays and Christmas by her own Dad who has a good job. |

Yes I know, I find it very sad that people are so judgemental even though I joked about it in my post. The witch hunting that had gone on in the forums today is quite an eye opener. |
