You're correct, I was generalising on the mostly younger women in the queue, I couldn't see what they were doing
My original post was in reference to catman's post about people not having £5 for ingredients for food hence my comment about people queuing at a food bank while browsing the Internet on their smartphones
I find it interesting you consider a phone is a necessity even if it means you can't afford food.
My daughter is doing her masters this year, she got the first job she applied for, 26 hours a week, there's plenty of work for those that can and want to but while things are being handed out for free many will sit back and let it roll in.
I disagree with your apparent view that those who struggle to pay for food should be denied a smart phone. You’ve made generalisations (your own words) about things you have absolutely zero comprehension of. What do you know of anyone’s circumstances and, again, who are you to judge? Perhaps they were struggling that day or week whilst waiting for their salary or benefits to be paid - should they all go and surrender their smart phones somewhere because of it? Do you think people may be embarrassed enough to be queuing at a food bank?
Your glib comment about seeing ‘most’ in the queue browsing social media TV was frankly crass and almost certainly untrue.
