That poster is a joke, if it's real. For a start, and as I found out for 6 hours on Saturday night / Sunday morning, abdominal pain (OK this was my 12yo daughter) is not something a GP can deal with. She needed bloods and an x-ray before A&E would let us go home.

With regards to food banks I think they are a good thing.

if you are really hungry go and grab something to eat. A good concept is the community fridges that are springing up around London you can help your self to an apple or some vegetables and they use up a lot of the waste food. Businesses and people donate the food so it gets used rather than wasted.

We waste tonnes of food every day in the UK it shouldn't be that difficult to divert food resources to where they are required. Don't we have a minister for Food? 

If I knew where my local food bank was I would certainly go and check it out and see what was on offer. People are always welcome round my house for a brew and a sandwich. 

That's your best yet.. hilarious

Thanks dude ;-)

What’s good about food banks?

• They feed people who might otherwise really go without
• They raise awareness about food poverty among people like us
• They politicise the subject of food democracy
• They involve local communities and they reflect a growing capacity in society for compassion
• They make being poor and in need of help less something to feel ashamed of
• They illustrate and bring weight to the broader agenda of social justice
• They make us all think about what it might be like not to have enough to eat

Labour bouncing back at the expense of UKIP and the Lib Dems ...

It's bloody good fun eh? 

 What will happen to Jeremy and what will he do when Labour are defeated and his lies are exposed? 

Who will ill become the new Labour leader?

Good to see that the chancellor has a strong and stable hand on the economy:

May was asked if Hammond would be chancellor come June 9 and she refused to answer .. the look on her face said it. He's a dead man walking. Personally I think he's worse than Osborne and Osborne was pretty poor.

He was a bit last minute.com after Brexit

I liked Osbourne he seemed to have a good grasp of figures

yeah not important for the chancellor to know his stuff.  Osbourne didn;'t have a fecking clue what he was doing either.

at least boris can be relied upon to be serious:

He kept changing his mind - I can't think of one target he hit. He made many promises but failed to deliver.

He trimmed the benefits bill ;-)
