Another arrogant Tory candidate insults the neediest people in society.
Heartless Tory candidate says people using foodbanks should get better at managing their budget
Many voters are saying today that yet again the Tory Party has shown its true colours, as another candidate insults thousands of desperate people struggling to find food under the hated Universal Credit scheme that’s so beloved of the current government.
Above: out - of - touch Tory, Darren Henry, doing his pre-election Scrooge impression rather well.
Self-righteous Tory Darren Henry, who is running to be the MP for Broxtowe in Nottinghamshire, said those who are forced to rely on charitable causes should become more financially savvy. The cold-hearted candidate told voters on Friday night: “When they go down to the food bank, what they struggle with is maybe being able to manage their budget.”
Former Tory minister Anna Soubry, who is seeking re-election as an Independent Group for Change candidate in the seat she has held since 2010, said: "He's utterly clueless and lacks the understanding and compassion to be an MP.
This latest insult comes days after another callous Conservative candidate told voters that disabled people and those with learning disabilities should be paid less than the minimum wage because some “don’t understand money”.
Record-breaking foodbank use
The Trussell Trust, which runs a network of food banks across the UK, said it is bracing for its busiest December after 823,145 three-day emergency food parcels were given out in six months between April to September 2019.
Last year 186,185 three-day emergency food parcels were provided by food banks in the charity’s network to people in crisis, with 78,536 of these going to children.
Scrooge would clearly approve of the latest Tory activity.
He would have perhaps also added - "If they would rather die, they had better do it and decrease the surplus population".
In this 21st century, the lack of compassion within politics for our most desperate citizens is truly beyond belief.
