Long foodbank queues on Christmas Eve. – The poor side of life

A friend of mine that volunteers at a foodbank has just sent me the below images. They asked if their anonymity is kept and of course I’m respecting this. The photos were taken as they were a…

============================================

Christmas Eve, the birth celebration of Christ, so we should all be equal, but here people are having to queue for food. This is not right and our Government has a ‘Duty of Care’ to ensure we all have the ability to obtain food without having to beg for it.

It is all our Duty to ensure that this Government ensures that we all can obtain food without having to beg, so make this Government be responsible and accountable to ensure that food is there for all by providing the means to make it possible.

This Government is not respecting the Human Rights of a proportion of the UK population and it needs to be made to do so, not only for Christmas, but throughout the lives of everyone.

The decimation of the welfare state

A truly worrying situation and one that could be happening within the UK. The DWP situation with Benefit claims and while the appeal process is reversing many of the wrongful dismissed cases, will this always be so. Not if we implement the American system as we appear to be doing.

It is very worrying and this should be noticed by the DWP, but will it be, I fear not.

‘I thought I was going to die’ Woman, 76, DENIED her pension because DWP thought she was dead

Tha DWP state “We are carrying out an urgent case review to learn any lessons from this and ensure it does not happen again.”, how often have we heard this. But , so called, mistakes still continue to occur.

Do we honestly believe these are mistakes, for if they are why are these lessons not being learnt.

Or are they not mistakes, but deliberate acts made by the DWP to reduce the welfare benefit payments by acts of stealth. Do anything to stop payments to benefit claimants and eventually these claimants will not be here, as they will have died by these, so called mistakes or deliberate acts.

A form of Governmental euthanasia.
