A British food bank that planned to close next Monday in observance of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral changed course and will remain open following backlash over its initial decision.
, “Just because the Queen is having her funeral doesn’t mean those worse [off] should be expected to starve.”
“This is a dreadful decision! It’s like you’re saying, “The Queen is dead- so starve, peasants!” one Brit commented on Facebook. “It’s very sad and disturbing that people will support a funeral for an extremely rich woman they don’t know that is being paid for by their hard earned money in favour of an essential service that QUITE LITERALLY feeds people who can’t afford it,” another wrote.Englanders on social media urged mourners to provide food for pantries instead of flowers for Buckingham Palace.
. “As a reminder we are not a government service and run solely on peoples donations of time, money and food.”
