Just read that food banks have been told to close on the 19th because it's "disrespectful"

What's "disrespectful" is that food banks have to exist in 2022!

I would say the existence of food banks in 2022 is unfortunate but I am not sure how it is disrespectful.

What was utterly disrespectful was someone trying to pull the flag off the Queen's Coffin whilst she lies in state. Apparently the numpty was shouting, "Allen's Snackbar."

As I understand it, they haven’t been ‘told to close’, it’s been their choice so that staff can watch the funeral. Some have now changed their minds and are staying open.

Was it Allan's snack bar or Allahu Akbar?

I do hope that's the case Vagus, would hate to think of families going hungry.

The food banks MUST stay open, the late Queen and the RF would not like them to close.

I saw in the news that they have been putting a few extra items in each pack to cover for the bank holiday. I don't know if its in all food banks though.

My local foodbank might have to close for good...
We are literally running out of food.

High on demand and low on donations.

That's so sad Nailit. The need for foodbanks seems to be growing.
