They also give out pet food for people with pets having trouble feeding them.
No and you didn't need a referral for that food bank. People just turned up and asked. These two stood out as they didn't look that needy, however, you can't go on looks I suppose and their car could have been a motability car.Do they turn people away who can't produce a referral?
I thought you had to get a referral to use a food bank.
You do need a referral for quite a lot of them, you don't for some run by churches, community centres or similar.So did I
It's good to have a rant. I had a good rant when I saw on TV a woman trying to locate her nearest food bank by using the SatNav on her top-of-the-range smartphone.
When I worked at said community centre there was a bus sent round the estate picking up primary school children to bring them to the breakfast club where they would get fed and be able to do homework or play. Some of them arrived with no socks or shoes or filthy clothes. Where were the parents? Many had addiction problems, many were bone idle. Their children clearly weren't their priority and had they not spent their money on other things they would have no problem putting food on the table - if they could be bothered.
If it's free people will take it, whether they need it or not.

Indeed. Parents need to start parenting.
I can't believe kids aren't taught the Green Cross Code. I had a Tufty the Road Safety Squirrel record before I started school and got my ROSPA badge after passing the bicycle test in the school playground.
I got taught stuff in school that's stayed with me and been useful all my life. Now they have lessons where they're told there are 70-odd genders and that they can change ***. With parents clearly not parenting a few lessons in basic cooking would be helpful and basic biological *** education might, just might bring teen pregnancy rate down a bit.
Don't get me started on uniforms. All students should wear trousers. It would stop boys lifting skirts or taking photos. It's now illegal but is still happening in my niece's school. It would help keep costs down for the girls as no tights would be needed.
Parents with children having to have rotten teeth out in hospital should be banned from having kids and have their children removed. It's utter neglect. Parents are too lazy to teach and supervise tooth brushing. We had a dental unit visit our school to teach us the importance of dental hygiene complete with a plaque disclosing tablet to prove the point. Money better spent than on la-la land subjects.
My ex-neighbour was a single mother with 3 kids, aged 6, 9 and 2. She moved them from school to school as she didn't like home truths from the teachers. She was one of those defensive mothers who would tell everyone she was a lioness mother and that no one would ever tell her kids off yet she'd send them to school without coats, and dump them after school while she'd go out. They'd be sent to school breakfast club in the morning then locked out of the house for a few hours after school every night without being fed and without coats even in the rain.
But that was okay cos she was a 'mama bear' who would defend her kids to the death.
Both boys are in prison now and the little girl was a teen mum. Not their fault according to their mum, mind you.
Definitely not their fault. They never had a chance with a mother like her.
What about the father(s)? They had a responsibility as well.Indeed. Parents need to start parenting.

How many times are Fathers never in the picture? It always amazes me when couples will have a child but when it comes to getting married, oh No that is a step too far in commitment.A marriage can be dissolved and where there are no children there may be no further contactWhat about the father(s)? They had a responsibility as well.
I know I read that. Just seen the ones that have been charged for rioting in our town. None were from the town,one was from Lincoln,one from Sheffield and the others from Barnsley,a 17 year old can't be named!!!!!!I'm watching the 10 o'clock news as I write this. There are parents directing their children to hurl missiles at the police.
I saw this on the News, too, and sadly more than one instance of it. The parents are as thick as mince (although admittedly this is an insult to mince) and the kids should be removed to at least give them a chance in life, otherwise they'll grow up thinking this is the 'norm'. As I used to say: back in the day you needed a licence to have a dog, but any ***** could have a child.I'm watching the 10 o'clock news as I write this.

Better yet we could get the army in on a tank and roll over them if they didn't move.Here we are used to riots. So the batten rounds also known as plastic bullets have been used already. Next few days, if it continues, the water cannon will be used. UK mainland police are just too soft.
It was quite funny on the local news last night. Three people up in court and refused bail.
One out with his children attacking a PSNI officer with his stick, seen on CC TV. He said he was just walking past and stopped to ask the police if his house would be okay?
Two was just out walking his dog but shown on CC TV attacking the police.
Three was a teenager and no excuse given.
