Title: Feeding homeless to be banned by Tory-run Westminster council
Post by: Pete on September 29, 2013, 01:56:02 PM

"They spent much of the run-up to the election trying shake off their image as the nasty party.

But a heartless group of Tories have ­revealed their true colours by banning charities from running soup kitchens for the ­homeless.

Conservative Westminster council in Central London also wants to make it an offence to sleep rough – while slashing £5million of funding to hostels.

Astonishingly, town hall chiefs claimed soup kitchens only “encourage” people to sleep on the streets.

Westminster council, one of the richest in the land, wants to bring in a bylaw making it an offence to “give out food for free”, punishable by fines. The twisted move blows apart David Cameron’s Big Society boast that an army of ­volunteers will flock to help those worse off."

And people wonder why I'm not a fan of the Tory party - nasty, vindictive bastards.

Nah, they wouldn't make a profit on a cull. Just beat them up a bit more.

Wonder where this leaves the Chesterfield food bank which hasn't been opened all that long compared with the Clay Cross one which has been going awhile

I can't see Chesterfield Council stopping food banks.

More likely to affect Tory run councils.
