In this story the tory minister is praising the efforts of foodbanks in helping folk to not starve.
But we pay taxes to live in a society where people are not going to starve. People should not be at the mercy of charity to put some food on the table.
Everybody pays taxes so they have a right to expect help when they go through bad times. Welfare has a dignity that charity has not got. It is time to move on from Victorian era social policy.
