Is the Daily Mail impartial, said Hitler was a nice man.

So much the better, joke
But the supermarket should be discounting all food bought for food banks down to cost anyway. They're making a 20% donation as it stands as I understand it, are they still in profit after tax relief ? Probably not far off and when you factor in the feel good publicity they definitely will be.
Maybe I'm wrong maybe it's a genuine giveaway

They probably stole that photo

Well done the travellers..i always put a decent full meal (tinned stew, spuds,, tin of veg and teabags for a brew) in the collection trolly. If you can't buy someone one meal when your food trolly is full for the week it's a poor do.
Trolly load is going beyond
I can’t really decide whether this is assuaging guilt or a humanitarian gesture. Not you in particular I might add, just the process.
Should we not all be on the streets demanding an end to low pay, homelessness and inequality....or is hoying a tin of stew at the problem and getting back into our nice warm German SUV sufficient.

I think you could say that about most things but as we know from experience shouting on the streets doesn’t help.
But what you can do is make a donation of some sort wether it be time or money to help someone at this time of year, when on top of the usual misfortunes of being homeless or living in poverty you have to deal with Xmas.

It's far from sufficient my friend and I have been looking for a riot since 79 but no one turns out.
In my particular case it was a simple one off response I was eating I thought others should and they can't wait for the riot.
Nothing will really change until people start sacking the supermarkets and taking what they need. I would love to know if there is net cost to this tesco, I suspect not

Sounds incredibly 'gift in kind'.
Do the Met have a tax bill they're looking to reduce per chance?

Still exactly the same principle though. Assuaging guilt for a day while continuing to consume to excess ourselves. The people at the bottom are the losers in the way society is structured and throwing them a few crumbs from the table occasionally might make you feel good but does fuck all to resolve the issues behind poverty and homelessness. By not berating Government or taking direct action we tacitly approve of the system because most of us are winners (relatively) and the price of that is losers.
I include myself in that criticism because I don’t like the system but continue to live within it without really challenging it.

No. It is officers who donate the gifts not the force, they merely coordinate it.
It’s not really right for a public service to be giving things away is it, even to a charity or for a good cause.
Sounds incredibly like ‘good people doing something good’.

The people of the family i know are all really nice, was a couple of his cousins in my year at school. Always a few bad ones in any community, but think they sometimes are used to be made an example of.

Not what I meant, but not unlike a copper to jump to their own conclusion.
Officers donate, the force co-ordinate. Do they ask you what the gift is worth - or do the charity as what the gift is worth?
