The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby
will launch a report in parliament this week which calls on the
government to fund the growing network of foodbanks – many of which are
coincidentally run by churches.
This is his toxic solution to the
growing hunger crisis which has emerged after the string of vindictive
and bungled welfare reforms implemented by Iain Duncan Smith.
It is shameful that so many people are now
dependent on foodbanks just to be able to feed their children, but to
enshrine this charity within the social security system would be a
disaster. What poor people need is more money, not more foodbanks.
This is just common sense. But you won’t hear calls for an end to
vicious cuts to social security from the clowns behind Welby’s report...
