Budget. Is the Toxic party for real?

[Supersub6]

Another question about something that is puzzling me in our small town.
People claim to be very hard up and are using food banks, however, four people who I know regularly use the food banks are also regularly seen in our local 'nail shops'.
Are these visits to the nail shops a necessity? Also, I wonder just how many others in similar situations are doing the same all over the country.

My neighbour, who is a retired electrician and used to work at local collieries, decided to volunteer to deliver food parcels to people in the area. He packed it in after three days because he was going to houses, knocking on the door, the bedroom window opened and someone told him to go in and drop the parcel on the table. In three different houses he entered to drop the parcels and there was a plethora of electronic games, consoles etc. and TVs on the wall varying from 50 to 61 inches.
Yes, there are many who genuinely need help, however, as is normal, we have quite a number who are just working the system, as they have been doing all their life.

I did two years volunteering in a Citizens Advice Bureau in Middlesborough mein freund. The poverty of a lot of people and the attitude of civil servants paid to help the poor buggers appalled me.

We need serious societal change but from where it will come, I have no idea.
