'We're fed up with food bank traffic!': Sneyd Green residents' anger at chaotic congestion outside Wesley Hall Methodist Church

“Will everyone please stop arguing. Things are about to improve. Didn't our sneering Chancellor spend the day in Brussels on a mission to stop the EU putting limits on our bankers (I think I spelled that right) bonuses. The EU had the nerve to want to limit a bonus to 300% of a wan..... er, bankers already huge salary.

So, the good folk of Sneyd Green are helping the poor, and the grinning clown of a Chancellor is helping his rich pals. It all seems very fair.

Or am I missing something??”

“U can't control the traffic and where people park so not point moaning about it if people parking up and no restrictions it will carry on so no point moaning cus u can't control it”

“Does anyone actually believe that only the needy use the food bank? I can guarantee that a lot of those using it are using it because it's something for nothing. As for those using their cars to collect , even if they bought their cars while they were working if they're so hard up they have to get food from a food bank the car should be parked up instead of using petrol , at nearly£7 a gallon to travel a mile each way to the bank is costing about 50p so it's hardly good economics.”

“I don't know where this idea of food banks came from, but it is somewhat disgraceful to say the least, this what our fathers and mothers fought the wars for, to be treated like scavengers and Humiliated by National and Local Governments

the 7th Richest Country in the World, giving million in Aid to other Countries around the world, given millions a day to the EU for our membership, then neglected our own, yes these food banks maybe needed,

but is there not a Europe Human Right, states: a man has the Right to be paid enough money to keep his family in a decent standard of living, I would not by any means look at food banks as a decent standard of living

Something wrong with the State, the System and the Governments, no matter who's in power, we never had these food banks in 50's 60's 70's nor 80's as I know of, bad government all round that's the facts,”

“Darrendoldrum is typical of what is wrong with this country, reads a post and decides he/she knows the way a person thinks and why they think the way they think, far too many people making judgements and sweeping generalisations based on a tiny bit of information,

I have voted Labour (for most of my adult life, and I am 60 this year, so I have experienced a bit of life, but forgive me if my experiences and my life haven't been an exact carbon copy of yours)
Because of all of the political parties they are the one that comes closest to my principles, they are FAR from perfect, but are a damn site closer to the values I believe in than the real Tories will ever be,
THAT is why I vote Labour because they (in MY opinion, other opinions are available) are the least bad of a bad bunch, and as I am a strong believer in democracy and the right to vote, I will always vote, even when not one party EXACTLY matches my views,
and I will also usually vote for the party that stands the best chance of keeping the Tories out, because at the moment that is the number one priority ... but not ANY party, for instance, I would never EVER vote BNP, or UKIP,

and YES I do read (some of) the manifestos and watch a lot of political programs and debates on the TV as well as on other internet forums,”

“OK, looking at the second photo, the church seems to have parking for a few cars, advise the drivers to ring ahead and arrange a time, parking on the church grounds. Simple.”

“Johntoe is typical of the electorate who put our governments into power - "I don't like this party so to stop them getting into power, I'll vote for that party".

Do you read manifestos? Party policy? Do you listen to party political broadcasts to hear what they have to say? Do you take the time to work out if a party can commit to the pledges it makes, or is it simply a case of preferring blue because it's a prettier colour than red, or purple doesn't go with the curtains?

Honestly people, if that's the case, you deserve everything you unwittingly vote for.”

“JonWoolley, you make me laugh really you do. You say 'I don't do politics' and then proceed to demand answers about how the country can get out of its current mess! Either you do politics or you don't - surely the answers to your questions are irrelevant if you don't do politics. Make your mind up.”

“It doesn't seem to be the people collecting the food that's the problem its the people donating and dropping the food off, maybe it would be a good idea for staff at the Methodist church to make people aware of better places to park so that the service can continue but the local area stays in tact.
As for the political debate, People having common sense not to park and destroy the grass is down to the people themselves really and not which government are in power.”

“FFDP1,

i am not disputing the need for food banks as rediculous it is in this day and age that they are needed however, it doesnt make it right to pull up outside someones house blocking their driveway and causing a mess of the grass verge.

What would happen if the driveway someone blocked belonged to someone who neede urgent medical help??”
