Other countries have much better standards of living than the UK, and they have an absence of charities and foodbanks.
Policies create a need for charities and foodbanks. Both now are industries of their own, doing the work that government is supposed to avoid the need for.
If our government isn’t required to avert poverty and create conditions for better lives then it’s hard to see what the point of them is.
I don’t care if some people are lazy and/or feckless. That’s human nature. There will always be some lazy people and the idea of a small amount of people getting away with it doesn’t bother me one bit. It’s a tiny price to pay for a safe, fair, just and cohesive society.
Any food banks in Norway?
Yes, but we are not supposed to compare ourselves with Norway.
Really?
You’d better tell the daft plumber then.
Yoons are always deriding comparisons with Norway. But then, when it’s convenient, let’s compare ourselves to Norway. 😆
