    One person comes to mind, that useless clot 'Micheal Gove MP' who claimed that people who use food banks have only got themselves to blame for mismanaging their finances.

    And as I said when that was mentioned, many of those I see when volunteering a car/few hours of my time, aren't those that put themselves in this position. It often, as in the case of the OP, happens for them.

    You don't know?

    You never get a letter? You never asked?

    Why are you getting sanctions???

    ASK TO SEE THE JOB CENTRES MANAGER

    I do not believe they say 'not interested'

    What you say about arguing with yourself in the house, do you have mental health probs in some way? do you get a bit annoyed at the job centre? stay calm with them if you go there again. See your doc and get referred to a foodbank if there is one near you. i am sure your pals wont let you starve, even if its a loaf!
    Are you in the outskirts of glasgow, might be hard to find a foodbank.

    I'm sorry but, the Government isn't some sort of scheme where you pay in and then are entitled to get a pay out when you want it. I'm sure in all the time you've been working previously that you have used or benefitted from other services that your taxes pay for eg. the NHS.

    I do wish people would stop assuming their taxes go into some savings account which they can access at any time and then blame the Country when they're told it's actually not the case.

    I'm sorry, that's absolute !!!!.

    So I worked from 16 to 23 full time and part-time during my university studies, then get sacked from a post-uni job and had to go on JSA, housing benefits, the works for about 6 months. I suppose by your logic I wasn't entitled to that and shouldn't have asked for it, despite me contributing every month I'd worked prior? What absolute tosh is that?

    If we're not paying taxes to contribute to society and systems that are supposed to assist in times of hardship, then what the hell are we paying it for? Second homes for politicians? Bailing out banks? Weapons for Syria?
