Simply put, the welfare state has failed to eradicate poverty, and the use of foodbanks is no different that receiving benefits, as the individual is reliant on someone else. To pretend otherwise is folly.
You are a capitalist , you are always going on about the marketplace, especially in health

As for welfare its a safety net for those less well off ......pensioners for example , the disabled , those with ill health

It's not there to eradicate poverty , poverty will always exist

But this lot really are screwing the poor
