People say they’re bad because an increase in the number of foodbanks correlates with the number of people living in poverty.
yet the same people say the welfare state is good. Why is that? In both cases the individual is reliant on a handout from a third party to ensure a meagre existence.

So rather than waxing lyrical about which party does this or does not do this...why don't we try and solve the root cause so people did not need either, because in a nation like the UK, we surely have enough for all to live very comfortably.
