This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition What will the Tory Government do about the rising use of food banks?
Rejected on
With people in work food banks are being used. This is disgraceful, people on benefits need food banks. Why in 2015 in a civilised world is this possible?
The cause is obviously due to the Tories unrelentless attack on the poor. Who will speak up for them? It is a disgusting country where people in work have to use food banks.
Why wont we concentrate on the issues surrounding the sudden explosion in food banks? The government know the issues and refuse to acknowledge them.
Iain Duncan Smith in all his austerity glory knows the issues unless he has no clue and therefore not fit for office.
