Clintons told to donate to foodbanks
Campaigners demand more than an apology from the disgraced company

Foodbank campaigners demanded Clinton Cards donate to the poor yesterday after revelations that the disgraced company’s HQ is only a stone’s throw away from an impoverished council estate where the use of foodbanks has soared.

The stationery shop hit the news this Monday after being forced to pull a Christmas card off the shelves for outrageously listing “10 reasons why Santa must live on a council estate”, which began with “he has a serial record for breaking and entering.”
