This will be a controversial topic perhaps but what is wrong with food banks? The arguments are as follows.
a). People should be looked after well enough the taxpayers b) it is humiliating for the users c) It represents a failure in society
On the other hand.
a) It is an expression of support off society and a good thing. Christian ( or other religions) values being enacted.
b) It is not the job of the Government to feed people or keep people warm other than Children.
c) Full grown adults of sound mind should look after themselves including food banks as a backstop.
With the current mentality of citizens it is no surprise that the Welfare budget has ballooned and stating to drag the whole country down as debt payment eat up too much of tax revenues.
If I was down on my luck I would use these facilities. I w once went into that cafe next to Gwyn Hall which seemed to dish out food for the old folk.
I do not like the word "Austerity" as if it was a choice. There was no option. The policy was forgotten due to Brexit and Covid. The debt and deficit have not gone away. We as a nation are paying huge proportion of tax revenues in interest payments.
Off course the billionaires should be taxed or at least encouraged to be philanthropic. It should be iterative to stop them running away to a tax haven.
This is a very wealthy country where personal property gains are not taxed . The WAG did the right thing in taxing second holiday homes and a visitors tax. Every house you can see outside you bedroom window is owned by someone and worth over £200,000. We have elderly people struggling with cash while sitting on a gold mine. They struggle on benefits while keeping the house for "little Johnny" who expects a big inheritance.
A mother took the trouble making son in London back to the family home in Ghana on holiday and then refused to let him come back unless he buckled down. No sign of Papa of course.
In another case another another troubled teenager took his mom to court under the same circumstances and happily lost.
I have heard of horror stories from Ghana from someone else. A bit of discipline to never does any harm.
There should be far more schemes by the authorities to break up the gangs and get some productivity from lost youths and delinquents. It would have to have an element if compulsion as in this case.
Taking youngster from ethnic group back to the family home for a spell would give them perspective and a little status
Some surprisingly low sentencing here. The gains of this business are great and the downside not so much. The short sentences are even not as they are given. Probably halve that quoted.
What a great watch. Plenty of skill on show, Penalty taking needs some work on both sides though.
Good to see a tall lean mean no 9 playing. More meanness required when taking a penalty. A touch of Shearer. Sending the keeper the wrong way is 50:50. and the odds re much higher than that.
Wales is getting dumped on by these wind farms particularly off shore ones and all the benefits are going to the Crown Estate and King Charles.
It is being presented as good news for Wales with very few construction jobs and even less permanent jobs.
I am pro Wind and sustainability but Wales has to benefit from the loss of our great scenery with turbines and associated pylons . A project was turned down in the Bychynau bannau (BreconBeacons) recently. These projects will keep coming.
I noted Anthony Wright on the first team bench v Boro and an earlier game. He has clearly been moved up to the first team alongside Sheehan. His teams always played flowing football.
Chris Llewellyn is back with the U21 and a new man with the U18.
One would think reasonable people would allow for a 6 month transition period or longer to end schemes like this where recipients are partly or fully dependent on them. The brutality applied to the people of Gaza is now being applied to other areas. None of the recipients have a golf handicap or ever go to a golf course owned by Trump.
Some of these schemes mitigate against starvation and disease often partly caused by wars at least partly agitated by imperial powers. No more " soft power" from the USA. China to step in presumably or even worse Islamist charities. An orderly hand over would have been appreciated.
1100 kitchens shut. A state like USA can do better than this even if they feel justified.. Any reasonable manager would give a transition timescale to make alternative arrangements.
If 5-10,000 troops ars sent to Ukraine would the HMG be compensated by some sort of international fund?
Would it come from a NATO affiliated budget
At present the UK military do training and exercises and fully funded by the UK taxpayer. Is Starmer keen on Uk milliary in Ukraine to offset costs and help with the budget . Wil Germany Italy Poland and Spain make a " cash contribution".?
I once used the ski slope behind Morrisons at Morfa 30 years ago. I did not enjoy the experience as it was nothing compared to snow. I would consider skiing in Eryri with slopes already under 2-3 degree with man made snow. I recently skied in Bosnia. The temperature were uncommonly mild -4c to +4c in the resort I went to. The thaw was slow enough with freezing over night to allow them to keep the piste open and create new snow..
it seems some sort of deal has been made reducing the overall loses which include infrastructure expenditure.

{The club received what they described as "exceptional gains" of £18.4m, a significant proportion of which - £12m - came from litigation claims made by the club.
Cardiff City Supporters' Trust chair and chartered accountant Keith Morgan said in relation to the above in a statement: "The only matter that I believe this can relate to is the club’s long running legal claim for damages against FC Nantes arising from the tragic death of Emiliano Sala in 2019.}
The US army has been in Europe for 80 year training and testing and ready at any moment to act. 1944 to 2025 more or less.
In 2025 after 80 years of training they decide it is a good time to withdraw just after Russian tanks have warmed up. Worse than that the Ukrainians have at least halved the Russian threat for them for which they get no thanks.
It is cowardice writ large. The guy taunting Zelenski about I his suit was Brian Glenn, Marjorie Taylor Green' s boyfriend. They all carry guns but are afraid to use them against real threats.
Right wing people hate wind power for some reason. Everyone knows It does not blow everyday and it can go several days without wind. Germans call it 'Dunkelflaute'.
You can follow the percentage of (I presume) electricity generation with this app.
Apparently the main concern of anti crackers is earthquakes . This is nonsense. Groundwater pollution is more likely but mitigations a can be taken.
This is a case where I'll informed public opinion over rules common sense.
I live in the North Anatolian fault for 7 years. 300 quakes every day. Very few were noticeable and even less dangerous. Some b worse cases wets like a truck driving past on the road nearby.
